Tony Ng (Malaysian, b. 1980) is an emerging modern and contemporary artist. He graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Art with a diploma in Fine Art and completed an art restoration course at the Accademia Riaci in Italy.
Tony portrays batik, a culturally significant symbol, in his oil paintings with incredible realism and an exceptional level of detail. We were drawn to the vibrant colours and intricate patterns, while looking for an artwork to be the centrepiece for our home.
The wrinkles and creases on the batik reminds us that there is beauty in the imperfection of everyday objects. The butterfly, another common motif in Tony's works, represents optimism amidst life's fleeting moments.
