“I really like the patterns on them. And sarongs, if you wear them for a long time, they have this certain ‘worn’ feel that’s just hard to explain. They feel so rustic”.
“我真的很喜欢它们上面的图案。而且沙龙,如果你穿它们很长时间,它们会有一种特定的‘磨损’感觉,很难解释。它们感觉如此朴素。”
For many of us, beauty is a sense of perfection. For Tony, beauty means meaningful moments in life. Life is not always perfect, but all the sweet and bitter moments make our life remarkable and beautiful. In Tony’s paintings, he uses traditional Malaysian art form – batik, vivid wax-resist dyeing colors and patterns, and folds on clothes to represent the precious lives of good and bad memories intertwined. Everything that happens in our lives are not always happy. Failure and loss are inevitable and sometimes are unpredictable, but trying to face challenges can leave more beautiful mark on our life path. Sarong, batik patterns and butterflies are three main elements to make up Tony’s paintings. Viewers may have an initial impression of the three symbols highlighting Malaysian culture. However, Tony Ng wants like to share that beyond culture identity and his paintings are more humane than superficial.
对许多人来说,美是一种完美的感觉。但对于Tony来说,美意味着生活中有意义的时刻。生活并不总是完美的,但所有甜蜜和苦涩的时刻都使我们的生活变得卓越和美丽。在Tony的画作中,他使用传统的马来西亚艺术形式——蜡染(batik),生动的蜡抵抗染色颜色和图案,以及衣服上的褶皱来代表好坏记忆交织在一起的珍贵生活。我们生活中发生的一切并不总是快乐的。失败和失去是不可避免的,有时甚至是不可预测的,但努力面对挑战可以在我们的人生道路上留下更美好的印记。沙龙、蜡染图案和蝴蝶是构成Tony画作的三个主要元素。观众可能会对这三个象征突出马来西亚文化的符号有最初的印象。然而,Tony想要分享的是,超越文化认同,他的画作比表面更具人性。
