Roslisham Ismail (Ise) (b. Kelantan, 1972 - d. 2019) Keluar 90 Hari, 2007
Est: RM7,000 - RM12,000
Roslisham Ismail, or better known as Ise, was perhaps one of the most well-travelled Malaysian artists invited to all parts of the world, but who died last year at the age of 47. In this work, he collaged text and images partly using comicdom’s bendot made popular by Pop artist Roy Lichenstein. A pretty face of a blonde girl face dominates the whole picture, with the thought bubble with street credo, ‘…you’ve got to ask yourself one question, ‘Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?’ A wry humour is suggested with the text, Ha Ha, but what’s so funny? The bigger text, Think Global, throws a read herring into this inconsequential enactment. Roslisham Ismail had guested in major art events such as the Singapore Art Biennale (2011), Asia Triennale in Manchester, UK (2011), Asia-Pacific Triennale in Brisbane, Australia (2012), Jakarta Biennale (2009), Istanbul Biennale (with Indonesian Collaborative Ruangrupa) (2005), the Asian Art Biennale in Taiwan in 2013, and the Gunnery Studio Art Space in 2006. He set up the alternative art space, Parking Project in Kuala Lumpur and founded the Sentap art publication. His solos included Super Fiction (2008), Time Capsule (Indonesia, 2007) and Keluar (Sydney, Australia, 2006). He graduated from the Mara Institute of Technology in 1997. He was featured in Henry Butcher’s The Young Contempo Auction on Sept 29, 2012.

Roslisham Ismail (Ise) (b. Kelantan, 1972 - d. 2019) Superfiction, 2008
Est: RM3,800 - RM6,000
This work was presented at Ise’s Super Fiction solo exhibition in Japan at JFKL Gallery (2008) and is inspired by the artist’s visit to Japan. Ise created an illusive and fictional image of the cityscape using photographs he took of the city. Skyscrapers, fighter jets and superheroes or monsters are all elements in the piece that brings to mind imagery usually seen in Japanese superhero movies from the 80s — a place that holds a particular fascination for the artist since watching Ultraman as a youngster. Super Fiction expresses Ise’s interest and love for the “Japanese urban condition” as well as the energy of the “super” modern city. Ise considers himself an observer and is interested in different people, cultures and backgrounds as well as the life, conditions and particular energy that is found in modern urban environments. Super Fiction shows a fractured sense of the city, a place of many distractions and sights — at one moment a number of incidents occur simultaneously, capturing the energy that attracts Ise to cities. The looming “monster” in the background hovers over the general population as a seemingly destructive force while people appear to carry on without a care in the world. The imagery gives the impression that perhaps one of Ise’s observations is that in our modern world where people are bombarded with images and information incessantly, life goes on and daily occurrences will continue as normal, unaffected. His conceptual works centre around his personal experiences and the culture of urban communities. Ise produces interactive events that encourages dialogue through working with comic narratives and material that reflects popular culture. His solo exhibitions include The Laundromat Project, New York (2016), Bangkok University Gallery (2014), Super Fiction at the Japan Foundation (2008), Time Capsule at Kedai Kebun Forum in Indonesia (2007) and Keluar 90 Hari at Gallery 4A in Sydney, Australia (2006). In 2015, he was commissioned to create an installation titled Sira Pisang for National Gallery Singapore’s opening. A few of his significant group exhibitions consist of Pattani Semasa, Ilham Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2018), Sunshower: Contemporary Art From South-East Asia 1980s To Now at the Mori Art Museumin Tokyo (2017), Secret Archipelago exhibition at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2015), Philip Morris Art Awards at the National Art Gallery, Dual Games an Asian residency project in South Korea (2008), Streaming Festival 3rd Edition Super Fiction at the Hague in the Netherlands (2008), as well as A Starting Point: Intrude 366 - Dynamic Of Change And Growth at Zendai Moma in Shanghai, China (2009). Ise was awarded artist fellowship awards allowing him travel grants to Tokyo (2007) and Sydney (2006) along with honourable mentions in the Philip Morris awards in Malaysia.
