작품 상세

Known as one of the first few advocates of traditional batik-painting, Seah Kim Joo illustrates a contrast of strong and edgy visual in his Fishing Village piece, set against a background that suggests a dreamy-like reality. The strong hues of green, brown and blue of his the houses on stilts, over the water stands boldly in the foreground. The crackling lines of the batik makes this piece an absolute gem. Artworks by the artist are collected by the institutions in Malaysia and Singapore
