Many factors make Shoo Leong’s painting unique; the background of his painting gives the illusion of movement. Shoo Leong places one object onto the canvas at a time, rather than all items in a group before starting to paint. 

Thus he ensures that each object has its own ‘life’, dimension and ensuring balance in size, colour and space.
