Private collection, Kuala Lumpur; acquired directly from the artist
Description
Through this still life painting of a variation of glasses, the influence by North European Masters on the artist’s handling of light and precision is evident. Painted here are a highball glass, a goblet classique stemware, a short glass, a sundae glass and the same conical glass found in Glacé. Left to catch light on a tablecloth, the fugitive light is reflected and deflected differently according to the varied forms of the glasses, creating a playful twist to the otherwise simple shapes and patterns.
