We're told that about 80% of people in Singapore live in public housing. The standard is remarkably good. The government agency that manages the system is the Housing and Development Bureau (HDB). Most of the public housing is in high-rise apartment buildings. Standard practice on some buildings is to leave the first floor open, except for the structural elements. This area is called the "void deck."
At the Macpherson HDB complex, a project was undertaken a few years ago to add copied famous artworks to the void deck walls. Mostly these are copies of some of Van Gogh's most famous works. You can see more information here.
These photos are of the wall art.
