The works of 'My grandfather road' artist

A Singapore guerilla artist responsible for the works of street art that have been spotted around Singapore lately has been arrested.

However, netizens are questioning if her works, which pokes fun at the unique querks of Singaporeas, can be considered 'public art' which contributes to the cultural flavour of Singapore.

Among her works are "My Grandfather Road" spray painted onto roads here, and "My Grandfather Buildings" onto walls.

Going under the moniker SklO, she also pasted circular stickers with slogans such as "Press Until Shiok" and "Press for Money" above the buttons at roadside crossings.

An online petition has been going around asking for 20,000 signatures to ask the Government to ease their restrictions on public 'art' and reduce the arrested woman's charge from Vandalism to Miscellaneous Offences.

"If you agree that the arrest of this particular artist is unwarranted and that there should be less restriction in public art, please join this event, and leave your name on the wall," wrote Stephenie Choy, an aspiring future arts educator who created a Facebook page for the petition.

Art or vandalism? You decide.
