Old Shophouses, jln Besar, Singapore
Gordon Tardio (see more by this artist)
Old Shophouses, jln Besar, Singapore, Aug. 2000
pen & ink on handmade thai mulberry paper(kada sa), deckled edge,
8 x 11 in., 20 x 28 cm.
The painting is inspired by old street scenes in Singapore. These old buildings are getting less and less in Singapore.
Mulberry paper is a traditional paper handmade in Thailand. Mulberry leaves are used there to feed the silkworm in the silk industry, the sticks used to make the paper.
The resulting paper is a thick tissue paper, solid 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 of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
I can be contacted directly for commission work of this type.
