It looks like his have been photographed on a flat black background and from above, which is what gives the floating effect when the photo is then turned upright on the wall (or computer screen). It's good to be in great company! Thanks for putting me onto his web page. I enjoyed a tour through his work. K I knew I couldn’t be the only one to think this up.

I didn't know why I found the image so compelling until way after I had begun trying to pin it down in paint. K Thanks Fencer,

So detailed without a sense of fussiness. I like how the lower wall pattern behind is like some other kind of camouflage. And the arm reaching into the frame while the fellow gazes out is great too. A lot of skill on display! Regards Hi lookingforbeauty,

I love it when you share the art places you go and I find this post fascinating. I have not run across Tong's work previously so this view of two of his paintings is priceless. They are so creepy but oh so good. I like how he divides space and how he gets our attention with realistic separate renderings of the players and subject material. I get the same feeling viewing his work that I do when I watch a good mime work and that's saying something. Thank-you for sharing these Kristin.
