Description
Tony Ng’s painting captures a striking still life arrangement of two pineapples resting on richly textured batik fabric. The artist’s attention to detail is evident in the lifelike rendering of each leaf and surface, from the layered folds of the fabric to the complex texture of the fruit. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the realism, while the vivid batik patterns introduce visual rhythm and cultural nuance. This composition showcases Tony’s refined technique and his ability to elevate everyday objects into scenes of quiet elegance and balance.
