Fruits

By Shiow Chai Hong, ART:DIS (Singapore) Ltd

"Fruits" with Dark Background is a Western-style still life oil painting by Shiow Chai Hong. The composition depicts a selection of fruits scattered across a table, set against a deep, dark background that heightens contrast and draws attention to their natural colours and textures. The informal arrangement creates a sense of spontaneity, while the controlled lighting and realistic detail highlight the artist’s focus on form, balance, and visual richness within a classic still life tradition.
