Tony Ng’s canvases incorporate tradition, drawing on local elements imbued with a sense of narrative. A selection of luscious pineapple, papaya, dragon fruit and guava are combined with batik drapery which provides an interesting contrast to the fruits in the painting. The artist creates strong visual interest using a variation between the dark background and decorative batik sarong. Match With Batik 6# is the artist’s personal interpretation of still life using local fruits and traditional fabrics. 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. His first solo exhibition, The Beauty Of Faith was held in 2015. Art WeMe Contemporary Gallery held a show called Aesthetic Vibes, featuring artworks by Tony Ng and Voon Kim Cheong few years ago.
