| Synopsis : | Fast establishing itself as one of Malaysia’s most exciting art groups, Dikala Jingga is staging its third three-person art show, featuring artists Zulkiflee Zainul Abidin, Samsuddin Lappo and Nurazmal Mohd Yusoff. Drawing strength from their common Bugis heritage, (Tellutau means 'three people' in the Bugis language) the artists steer this series of work towards social and political inquiry, relying abundantly on the art language of surrealism and pop culture. Zul’s professional art career began with his paintings of the human form, though these days he concentrates on painting animals more. Whereas in his earlier series his animals were endowed with auspicious symbols and qualities, they now bear messages of subtle cynicism and greater immediacy. His animals represent the virtues and not so virtuous nature of humans especially those entrusted by society with high office and power. Through the titles of paintings such as “ Cow tu Lembu” the artist reveals his contempt for humankind’s ignorance, while in other paintings like “Bersih” and “ Masa Untuk Perubahan” his art speaks of the excitement, drama and anticipation of Malaysia’s newly altered political landscape. Not confined to any particular issue, Suddin paints his favourite subject - the human figure - etching his subjects with strong emotions, stirring colours and defining brush strokes. The musicians in his paintings convey the music they play, merely through their body gestures. Hidden beneath his evocative figures and gestures is the artist’s message of education and self improvement, born out of Suddin’s background as an art teacher. Picasso described art as the lie that enables us to realize the truth. True to this spirit, Nurazmal attempts to document his childhood from an entirely unexpected vantage point. In this, Nurazmal’s interior acts only as a silent and indifferent backdrop. With a whiff of both humour and sinister, the artist plays with images that have passed and visions of things to come to transport the viewer to his imaginary realm of space and time. |
