Trying out a batik dress

A 1997 oil by the late Singapore artist Liu Kang. The image was scanned from an arts catalogue. It is one of my favourites. I once printed it on A3 glossy paper and showed it to Liu Kang a few years back when we were lunching at a restaurant in Paragon shopping mall. He was taken aback by the lucent quality of the print which seemed more vivid than his original oil!

When you can't afford the original, you can scan the image from the art catalogue (at 300DPI resolution to capture details) and print it on glossy A3 or A2 photo sheet. And if you don't have a large format printer, go to Peace Centre mall at Selegie Road and give your image file to one of the dozens of printing shops there, to have them produce a large colour print at less than $20 a copy.
