Executed in a vertical format, Tan Gaik Hoon depicts an exuberant display of still life while incorporating the finest ceramics and antique furniture. She captures the radiant energy of the roses and traditional sweets in this opulent composition. This festive arrangement demonstrates her talent for capturing detail, in a warm colour palette.
