As raucous festivities are not practical for now, he is welcoming the Year of the Ox in a more sensible way by producing a variety of bovine-themed artworks. “Pieces take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete, ” the Bukit Mertajam-based artist explained. There is also a piece depicting an ox hoofing the coronavirus away, and another with a cow sitting atop it. Both represent his hope that the Year of the Ox will finally see the pandemic suppressed. The ox symbolises strength, power and confidence, so hopefully it’ll help us overcome the challenges we currently face, ” he explained.
