GM Choo Batik - Peace Village, size : 57X100 cm

Gm Choo has been in the batik art for over 30 years. He used to reside in Terengganu, Malaysia – where it’s rich in Malay culture, and is deeply affected by the art of batik. Choo is an artist who simply thrives in his work and none other than batik painting. ART mean LOVE, HOBBY and BUSINESS to him which he approaches with no apologies and does full time in his passive ways. He is the first Malaysian artist who promoted batik art in Singapore’s Tanglin Handicraft Centre. He built his career upon his interests, introducing the batik paintings to tourists. As batik is a unique heritage of Malaysia, Choo takes the extra effort to ensure that the process of producing a piece of batik is special – every single design is uniquely handmade and this has greatly impressed the tourists. Recently, he made yet another innovation by using wrinkling effect of paper to create a three dimensional illusion of stones and mountain scenery, he created a painting that combined both Malay and Chinese cultures. His works has lined the walls of many hotels and also of private collectors but nothing pleased him more than to see the man in the street admiring his painting.
