Tony Ng Chit Keong keeps a comparatively low profile, with his works seldom found in the main gallery circuit. Yet, in recent years, this artist trained at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art, now defunct, has caught the attention with his still-life works of fruits and batik. Of the fruits depicted here – pineapple, papaya, guava and dragonfruit – all the skin has to be peeled off. Some, however, eat the guava skin. The batik tablecloth with the sky-blue backdrop has big floral designs with the pointillist dots of the type found in a Hashim Hassan painting.
