Artwork Description

Often sporting rusticated plasterwork in its architraves, pilasters and moulded cornices, Penang’s heritage edifices are an ode to its colourful heritage. Inspired by food photography, the artist ingeniously captures the vulnerability of Penang’s heritage buildings by drawing parallels to a melting ice-cream cone, an evanescing treat, irresistible to ravenous developers. Through the effervescent use of the watercolour medium, spontaneity and freshness are injected into this charming piece.
