This dynamic and vivid composition executed purely in coloured pencil exudes a strong sense of rhythm, excitement and energy. Displaying tremendous attention to detail and a skilled understanding of the advantages of the medium, the artist bravely explores the mythical world of the Barongan dance in this psychedelic rendering. Originating in the Indonesian island of Java, the dance tells the tale of a tiger dancing with a peacock on its back, creating a chimera of sorts. While dwindling in numbers, you can still chance upon dancers moving to the rhythm of spirited musical layering courtesy of a gamelan ensemble in Batu Pahat, Pontian and Muar in Johor.
