An illustrious batik painter, Dato’ Chuah Thean Teng’s most celebrated theme is the Mother-and-Child. On offer here is a familiar scene depicting a mother showing affection to her child. It almost seems as if she is about to lift and hug her child. His colour palette is predominantly in orange which enhanced the tenderness of the mother figure. The child is likely to be a young boy longing for attention and comfort from his mother. It is beautifully portrayed on batik the power of a mother’s love, and the strong bond between them.
