TANGS is a departmental store located at Orchard road owned by C.K. Tang. It is the first departmental store along the streets of Orchard road, established in 1932.
In 1982, the new 33 storey pagoda like tower and podium incorporating the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel and TANGS departmental store with a five storey building based on the imperial palace in Beijing.
The building architecture was modelled after the palaces in the Forbidden city with the green roof tiles, light yellow facade and red columns. I have carefully drawn its building structure and painted colours as closely matching the actual building as possible.
Tang plaza is named after Tan Choon Keng, the businessman who built owned the building. Tags is a leading prominent retail industry player with outlets in Vivo City and Tang Plaza.
Christmas on a great street is an annual light up that transform Orchard road into a festive wonderland.
In celebration of TANGS 90th anniversary and in anticipation of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the opening of the Thomson East Coast line (orchard and orchard boulevard), I illustrated the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel and Tangs at the Tang Plaza. I have incorporated Santa Claus playing kicking soccer ball, the drawing of the new trains and characters trying outfit on AR fitting rooms.
I hope to reimagine a magical fantasy landscape in Orchard road, Christmas on a great street.
To commemorate the 90th anniversary of TANGS, I have specially illustrated the old C.K Tang building back in the 1960s.
