  • AKHMAL ASYRAF (b. 1987) YANG KAMU SANJUNG, 2013, Mixed media on wood

    AKHMAL ASYRAF (b. 1987) YANG KAMU SANJUNG, 2013, Mixed media on wood

    Est: RM7,000 - RM11,000

    Tradition and change, is it progress (development) or regression? Often, modernity is equated with things and values (Western), and this is more pronounced with globalisation, although it also kicks in a kind of reverse ethnic ghetto. So much of the world has been Coca-Cola-nised by contemporary American culture and entertainment, so much so that our own heroes like Hang Tuah have become a relic. Here, the bee-hive cubicles of high-rises are juxtaposed with the traditional quilt mat with its square cubes with diagonal binding. Once upon a time, the only abodes of the Malays were the raised Malay houses made of wood, with high ceiling and airy verandahs and where lit paraffin lamps made things visible in the darkness. Akhmal Asyraf graduated with a BFA from Universiti ITM, majoring in Painting in 2009-2010. The year 2013 proved propitious for him, for he held his first solo, Rebirth, at RA Fine Arts, Kuala Lumpur; represented in Art Expo Malaysia; and his work was selected for the Arts Kuala Lumpur on the fringe of the Miami Art Basel. In 2014, he was selected for the Young Guns exhibition at Chan Hampe Galleries in Singapore.

    AKHMAL ASYRAF (b. 1987) COMPOSE, 2012, Mixed media on wood

    Est: RM2,500 - RM4,500

    Akhmal Asyraf is intrigued by the Nurture vs Nature dichotomy of existence. Using mixed media on sawn wooden planks, he questions the reality we are living in, how fragile things are and how we are shaped by the historical and social environment we are in. The face of a little boy looms large over the work imprinted with high-rises with myriad pigeonhole showing people living inside. But he believes we could take hold of our destiny, if we strip away the extraneous layers of present conditions bogging us down. The act of destroying such ‘encumbrances’ could free us from all kinds of inhibitions foiling one’s growth.After graduating from the Universiti ITM with a BFA, Majoring in Painting in 2009-2010, Akhmal held his first solo, Rebirth, at RA Fine Arts, Kuala Lumpur, in March 2013.
