| Synopsis : | Saiful Razman tackles the theme of urban fatigue and the psychological stress of the sensibility-numbing life in the Klang Valley, where he lives and works, in this his first solo exhibition. Saiful puts city life squarely in focus in his latest works. Among the subjects he tackles include media overload, religious and moral hypocrisy, monocultural and monotheistic tyranny, and right-wing chauvinist ideologies. "Pelan-Pelan" is the title of Saiful’s new series of drawings and paintings executed in acrylic and bitumen on canvas, with emphasis on repeated patterns that symbolise the repetitive drudgery of urban life. "Bilik Gerakan" is the title of the room installation that will be part of the exhibition, which includes drawings by Saiful Razman, video works entitled “Dilarang Melarang” with music by Gasoline Grenade; and Hishamuddin Rais and Mohd. Redzuan Othman’s photographic documentation of this year's general elections, entitled “789”. “Bilik Gerakan” is the Malay term for the “mobilisation centres” of political parties during the election period. Since graduating with BA in Fine Art from UiTM in 2003, Saiful Razman has made a name for himself with invitations to participate in various exhibitions in Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. He was featured in Valentine Willie Fine Art's Three Young Contemporaries in 2004 and was selected for the artist-in-residence programme at Rimbun Dahan in 2004/2005. Aside from his art, he was involved as a committee member of Notthatbalai, the annual fringe arts festival held at Lost Generation Space. Formerly the arts space manager at The Annexe, Central Market, also plays in the punk rock band Gasoline Grenade. The Exhibition Opening will take place on Fri 20 June 2008 at 8pm. |
