350 people worked on the artworks

According to ST, the Van Gogh paintings were done by arts charity Social Creatives.

About 350 people worked with Social Creatives to help create the artworks. The project also reportedly helped to curb vandalism and littering in the area.

It earned a Special Community Project Award for the MacPherson Zone C Residents' Committee, ST reported.
