In E-Monk, a pair of figures are being presented in an idealised form, painted in a bold palette of blue and red hues. Drawing inspiration from eastern culture, the figures are carefully modelled with smooth, refined strokes against a blue colour backdrop. The red coloured collar of the lady's dress adds a touch of vitality to the composition. Anthonie Chong graduated in Graphic Design from the Perak Institute of Art in 1991.
