          KELVIN CHAP : Untitled, 2016

          Est: RM2,000 - RM5,000

          Kelvin Chap’s deliberate manipulation of light and shadow heightens the drama within his compositions. In his skilled hands, light becomes a metaphorical force, illuminating and obscuring, revealing and concealing. Shadows dance across his canvases, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue, as if beckoning viewers into uncharted territories of the mind. This interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic tension within his artworks, urging viewers to question the boundaries of perception and the malleability of reality. Beyond his mastery of technique, Chap’s artworks exude a profound philosophical undercurrent. He delves into existential themes, exploring the complexities of human existence and the elusive nature of truth.

          Kelvin Chap grew up in Sabah, despite having been born in Indonesia. There, he developed an intense fascination for the Borneo tribal culture and symbolisms, which are always present in all his artworks. The masks, totem poles and everything iconic from Borneo is present in this artwork. The artist explained that the idea behind this piece is simply a social commentary; the overlapping of tradition and culture with modernisation, of how they clash, and the portrayal of a society that is too eager to accept urbanisation, so much so that the lines are blurred and almost obscure the original culture identity. There is also a narration about nature itself that is present in this painting, making this piece more meaningful in both meaning and technique.

          The works of Kelvin Chap are based on the development and evolution of different human cultures in the realm of nature. Pola - Pola Asli meaning archetypes of primitive tribes is a collage derived from images of ethnic iconographies consisting of the traditional dress of tribal women, basketry, and symbolic motifs. The basketry plaiting tradition is soon becoming a lost art form due to deforestation which affects the gathering of materials such as wood and rattan. The stenciled icons achieve a contemporary aesthetic and unified in totality by swarming blocks of brilliant colours.   Kelvin Chap received his education majoring in print making at the Malaysian Institute of Art (1992-1994). He won first prize in the Swatch Street Painting Competition based on the theme, Spirit of Our Times (1994). He was honoured the Juror’s Choice at the Philip Morris Malaysian Art Awards (2001). His solo exhibitions include Belawing and the Great Mamat (Totem and the Great Hunter), Pelita Hati (1996), Idea 9, Pelita Hati (2000), and Old Masks, Modern Man, Maison of Malaysian Art (MoMA) (2011). His group exhibitions include Innenseite, Kassel, Germany (1997), Gema: Resonance, A Malaysian Exhibition of Contemporary Art, Prague, Czech Republic (1998), and RUPA Malaysia: A Decade of Art at the Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London (1998). He has also exhibited at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 in the Malaysian Pavilion in China. His work can be found in public collections such as the National Art Gallery, Malaysia, Galeri Petronas, Sabah Art Gallery, Chamalires, France as well as private collections in Malaysia, Singapore, Chile, Japan, USA, France, Germany and China.
