In 2023 The Singapore EDITION, commissioned Christian Furr to create an imposing painting for their newly desgined hotel restaurant. The painting entitled "Arrival", is a fictional depiction of the original settlers of modern day Singapore, arriving in the bay of Singapore in the style of an ancient tapestry.
Christian Furr brings together elements of the Western tapestry tradition and makes it Eastern in nature. Human activity that in fact spans the past, present and future, with numerous hidden elements to discover— a faded ghostly sail boat in the distance combined with the intricate detail of foliage and trees in soft greens, orange amber and gold tones.
