27 March 2025Underpass Murals
Singapore River One (SRO) started our first Underpass Art installation project in January 2013 with the goal of using design and culture as the medium for transformation and rebranding the River. Through this project, SRO hopes to enhance the connectivity between all three Quays (Clarke Quay, Robertson Quay and Boat Quay), and encourage exploration along the entire stretch of the Singapore River.
A combination of several murals,
Gaia – Mother Earth, Wild Beginnings, Going Green, Star Crossed Lovers & Smoke-up, each depicting stories of history, urban folktales and environmental messages that enhance the journey of on-foot exploration between quays through these underpasses.
Light at the end of the tunnel and Kaleidoscope of Dreams
were commissioned to commemorate SRO’s 10-years of placemaking efforts. The underpass’ two 45 metre-long walls are adorned with beautiful murals that tell the past, present and future of the Singapore River through the lens of the community. Click here for more information.
A whimsical spin on Robertson Quay’s history
Titled “From the Belly of the Carp”, this mural is found at Clemenceau Underpass, which links Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay.
At 47m, the mural is currently the longest along the Singapore River! It pays homage to Singapore’s history as a bustling trading port. Enjoy this vibrant space with colourful interpretations of boats, fish and spices – elements from early Singapore.
Singapore River One (SRO), Singapore Wildcat Action Group (SWAG) and Mural Lingo champion the conservation of the Leopard Cat.
The Leopard Cat is the last wildcat species found in Singapore, with less than 50 estimated individuals in the wild.
This mural, made possible with 160 volunteers, reimagines the leopard cat’s habitat with scenes of Singapore’s built-up environment, nature and the Singapore River, bringing an element of the wilderness into the precinct.
The Vintage Timeline
This mural uses a timeline to show the past and present of Singapore, from her humble beginnings till today. The design juxtaposes the early founding stages of Singapore and the current stages of Singapore in the form of a light refreshing illustration to demonstrate the impressive transformation of Singapore from a small fishing village to a modern city.
