Tony Ng was trained at Kuala Lumpur College of Art with a diploma in Fine Art. An emerging Malaysian artist, Tony Ng plays on the aesthetics of batiks, sarongs, textiles and elevates the splendour of the sarong designs. Here the artist uses everyday objects to form a still life rendered in rich colours, resulting in a lively composition. Spatial depth is created by depicting intricate antique tiles. Layered with traditional culture, the works are also symbolic. Pineapple, for some Chinese, could be a symbol of prosperity and good luck. His first solo exhibition, The Beauty Of Faith was held in 2015. |
