Evocative of simpler times, Wong Jong Nong’s Village Scene is the embodiment of nostalgia. Paying great attention to detail, the artist executes towering coconut trees that surrounds a village with thatched roofs and built from wood. Wong Jong Nong’s paintings typically relishes in rural and hilly landscapes, coastal areas and riverine scenes, often in a small group.
