Description
Two radiant red apples placed on a richly decorated floral batik. The apples gleam with a sense of freshness, bathed in the soft, warm glow of morning sunlight, which highlights their glossy surfaces and bright colours. The floral pattern on the batik, rendered in rich shades of red, green, and blue, complements the apples, adding depth and texture to the composition. The interplay of light and shadow is masterfully executed, with the shadows blending into the fabric, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The scene evokes a sense of calm and warmth, celebrating the beauty of everyday objects illuminated by natural light.
Malaysian artist Tony Ng, a Fine Art graduate from the Kuala Lumpur College of Art, has established himself as a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene. His noteworthy exhibitions include The Beauty of Faith, his debut solo show in 2015, and Ukiran. Ng has also collaborated with Voon Kim Cheong on Aesthetic Vibes. Renowned for his distinctive style, he reimagines traditional batik, sarong, and textile designs, elevating their aesthetics and drawing deep inspiration from the rich heritage of sarong patterns.
