Resting by Singaporean artist Tay Bak Koi, is a serene and contemplative depiction of rural life. The artwork features two figures, seated under the shade of trees, surrounded by the tranquillity of the surrounding lush greenery. Tay’s signature style—characterized by simplified forms and muted tones—creates a peaceful, idyllic atmosphere. Through soft brushstrokes and delicate colour contrasts, this piece captures a quiet, reflective moment, evoking a deep sense of harmony with nature.
