Two Nudes by Dato’ Chuah Thean Teng (1980s) is a captivating batik painting that captures the beauty and vulnerability of the human form. In this work, Chuah employs his mastery of batik techniques to depict two nude figures, rendered with soft, fluid lines and warm earth tones. The figures, intertwined in a natural yet abstract composition, evoke a sense of intimacy and harmony with nature. The textured quality of the batik medium adds depth and complexity, blending the boundaries between the figures and their surroundings, while embodying Chuah’s exploration of both traditional craft and modern artistic expression.
