Rendered in delicate brown tones, this intricate batik painting by Ho Hee Khim celebrates the nostalgic and peaceful lifestyle of a traditional fishing village. Stilt houses were built closely hinting at a sense of community, with surrounding congregations of fishing boats and palms. The artist captures the movement of water using the crackle effects of batik, which adds interest to the entire composition. Ho Hee Khim was also renowned for his delicate still life paintings of orchids.
