Dato’ Tay Mo Leong presents a graceful composition of two female figures, majestically clad in traditional outfits caught in rhythmic motion. Rendered with flowing lines and vivid colours, “Two Dancing Beauties” encapsulates the energy of dance while celebrating femininity and elegance. The painterly textures and rich hues are hallmarks of Tay’s artistic language which imbue the scene with vitality, while the subject reflects his enduring fascination with culture, movement, and the beauty of human expression.
