Which artworks by Lihuà feature the kebaya and Nyonya fashion?
Lihuà's Busana Malaysia series features the kebaya and Nyonya (Peranakan) dress throughout, including Kebaya Emotion, Fusion Kebaya, Ayu Kebaya 1 and 2, the Edgy Nyonya works and the Opera Nyonya works.
She paints the kebaya as contemporary fashion rather than costume: fitted floral blouses with brooches, sarong prints, flowers pinned in the hair, set against bold black brushwork or saturated blue washes.
