About the Item
Kokeshi dolls are a traditional Japanese craft known for their simple lines and elegant shapes. These dolls, typically made of wood, feature a round head and a simple trunk without arms or legs, and are often used for decoration and collection. Kokeshi dolls symbolize peace and happiness, carrying the deep emotions and exquisite craftsmanship of their creators.
Integrating Kokeshi dolls with Malaysian culture represents a cross-cultural artistic exploration and exchange. Malaysia is a multicultural country rich in traditional arts and cultural heritage, including Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures. In this series, Kokeshi dolls are imbued with unique Malaysian cultural elements, such as traditional attire, colors, and patterns, showcasing the harmonious coexistence and mutual respect of the two cultures.
This series not only showcases the beauty of Kokeshi dolls but also conveys a beautiful emotion that transcends borders by incorporating Malaysian cultural elements. It symbolizes cultural diversity and inclusiveness, encouraging people to respect and appreciate the beauty of different cultures. This artistic creation is not only a continuation and innovation of tradition but also a celebration of peace, friendship, and understanding.
Through this series, I hope to convey a positive message to the audience: regardless of cultural differences, people can find a common language through art and create a better world together. I hope my work can become a beautiful symbol of cultural fusion, conveying messages of positivity, friendship, and inclusiveness.
Newly painted artwork. The painting will be rolled up in a tube for international shipping.

Tony Ng
Tony Ng is personally interested in collecting batiks. He has chosen the textiles to be the subject of his paintings not only because of their vibrant color and patterns, but also because the art itself symbolizes the civic culture of Malaysia. Every batik is unique, and every piece represents the beauty of this culture.
Tony Ng Chit Keong was born in 1980. He graduated from Kuala Lumpur College of Arts with a diploma in fine art and also completed an art restoration course at Accademia Riaci in Italy. Today Ng is an emerging Malaysian artist who focuses on the aesthetics of batiks — he endeavors to elevate their beauty in his work and believes them to be a unique subject in contemporary art.
Ng’s art can be found in the collections of Mandarin Oriental, Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM) and elsewhere.

Earth, air, water, and fire are the center subjects of my art. I live in New York City-it is close to the ocean, and I’ve developed a deep affinity for the sea, which has also evoked sentiments in me for what has across on the other side of the ocean. Majestic mountains in Europe and the U.S. those I’ve seen with spectacular ridgelines or forms are what I want to pay homage to. The sky’s ever-changing atmosphere, fire’s brilliance, and all the energies embodied in nature are the most things that I am in awe of.
