In this piece, the female form is wonderfully rendered, the lady brought to life by Josephine Linggar’s masterful skills with oil. The lady is unafraid; serene and laid-back. Josephine’s body of work engages the viewer with her detailed attention to the textured richness typical of the Indonesian costumes and headdresses. Balinese and Javanese backdrops, backstage scenarios, cultural ceremonies give dynamic life to the canvas. Still sepia and brownish colours are seen in her latest paintings of Nyonya women in their “baju encim” full with detailed embroidery and exquisite Peranakan sarongs.
