Eng Tay’s Serenade ,1998 is a lyrical bronze sculpture that captures the quiet grace of a woman immersed in music, gently playing a harp. Rendered in his signature stylised form, the figure exudes serenity and introspection, both hallmarks of Tay’s artistic language. The sculpture’s smooth contours and warm bronze patina evoke a timeless quality, echoing the artist’s ongoing exploration of human connection, tradition, and emotion. Serenade translates the intimacy often found in Tay’s paintings and prints into three-dimensional form, offering a tactile tribute to the enduring power of music and feminine strength.
