About the Item

Life Is Wonderful #10 Sarong, batik patterns and butterfly are three main elements to compose Tony Ng’s paintings. Viewers may create initial impressions these three symbols highlight Malaysian culture. However, Tony Ng would like to share beyond culture identity and his paintings contain more humanistic cares than surface. When the artist observes wrinkles on the sarong, they are not noticeable, on the contrary, they mark times and memories that underline beauty of sarong. Everything happens in our life are not always happy. Failure and loss are inevitable and sometimes are unpredictable but trying to face challenges may leave more beautiful marks in our life path. A butterfly always can be seen besides sarong. Butterfly implies a short but amazing life experience in Tony Ng’s paintings. A butterfly is not born to be a beautiful creature. The caterpillar transforms its body, eventually emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Most of butterflies live only one or two weeks, but they leave glamorous moments in the world. No matter a beautiful sarong has many stains or creases, and no matter a butterfly lives in long or short life, true beauty is last long without limits. Tony Ng believes we, as a human being, faces failures and challenges since we were born. Whatsoever humans still work hard as the life is beautiful!

Brilliant #4, Peranakan Baba Nyonya Straits Chinese Kamcheng Porcelain, In Stock
By Tony Ng
Located in Kuala Lumpur, MY
Tony lived with his grandmother when he was a child. He has seen many Peranakan tableware at her house.
