Painter, sculptor and Cultural Medallion recipient Tay Chee Toh has been creating art for almost half a century. Tay’s artistic practices is driven by his consistent quest to challenge himself and to advance fresh forms of artistic expressions. Tay’s artistic prowess is evident in this body of work. In this work, a blue palette washes over the canvas in a fluid, rectangular shape. Within that, two subjects are depicted as if they’re amid water and adorned with jewellery and flowers, almost like deities.
