Original artwork description:
Sleepy foodstalls, Malaysia , 1999
Pen and acrylic ink on handmade thai mulberry paper(kada sa), deckled edge, 8 x 11 in., 20 x 28 cm.
This goes way back to my early days of visiting Malaysia. Mersing is a known quaint seaside town known mainly as a launching pad for the nearby islands. Many times I have visited there, and really fell in love with the place. It has also inspired many of my paintings and sketches. Here is a humorous look at people and culture…. Here a ‘hawker centre’ or food court during off hours…
The simple black & white ink sketch has a mood that colour paintings don’t capture, and allows the texture of the paper to stand out. A bit of yellowing over the years just adds to the overall look.
This is painted on a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It is a thick parchment paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. The close up picture is to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel, your house or street? Contact me.
Packaging for my small paintings like this one is sealed in plastic sleeve, sealed in a padded hard plastic file case, and in an envelope.
Please note that you can purchase in one order up to 3 paintings of this same size (small painting category) or smaller to be included in the same 1 shipping fee.
About framing.
When considering framing bear in mind to not cover up the deckled edges. This is one of the specialties of the painting, one of its charms. It is best displayed framed with a cut mat board around the painting so as not to cover the edges, thereby putting some space between the art and the glass and bringing depth to the framed art. It can also be framed simply with backing board and pressed with glass over the front without causing damage.
