Tay Bak Chiang (b. 1973, Malaysia) is a contemporary artist who draws inspiration from the natural environment of Singapore and Southeast Asia. He interprets anew themes of nature such as stones, lotus ponds, birds and flowers.
Belonging to an emerging generation of young Singapore ink artists who has developed a distinctive language in ink painting, Tay executes the work with daring brushwork, unusual colours and a striking composition; simple geometric shapes represent lotus leaves and stems. This painting is part of the Lotus Pond series produced in 2009.
