Est: RM2,000 - RM4,000
Intense shades of blue feature dominantly in this set of landscape works by Maamor Jantan. The lyrical movement of the plants in the natural landscape add to the emotive quality.

In Malay art circles, he is known as Mr. Cakcibor (The Dragonfly Man), although everyone knows his name, Maamor Jantan. A protege of Khalil Ibrahim, Maamor Jantan has come of his own through sheer diligence and practices. He would go all around the country to paint, often with his group of friends and at one time with Khalil himself, when he was more mobile. He has set a palette of mauve hues from light to darker (nocturnal scenes) with delicate transparency. Whether it is a Malay kampung scene, kenduri, fishing village, the country landscapes, his Cakcibor will be there, large and small. Mentored by Khalil in 1984 when he was an apprentice machinist, it took him nearly 30 years before he had his first solo, titled Figment Of Imagination at Universiti Malaya Art Gallery, in April 2014, showing some 150 works. He was a resident artist there, and also had a stint at Belanda Gallery in Langkawi. He is also from the core Conlay group of artists.

MAAMOR JANTAN : Siri Pemandangan - Sugarcane Juice Traders, 2020/21
Est: RM12,000 - RM15,000
Born in Kulim, Kedah in 1961, Maamor Jantan answered the call of being an artist in his youth. Maamor Jantan started out as an apprentice machinist before getting a job as an assistant curator, for an art gallery in Kuala Lumpur where he was first introduced to the world of visual arts and its artists. It was only after meeting the inimitable Khalil Ibrahim in 1984 studying under him for more than a decade that he ventured into art. Maamor’s has an unconventional approach to art; he employs a unique style of using delicate tones of blotched and bleached colours and pairs it with his deep fondness for kampung scenes. With an aptness for village scenes, night scenes and the likes, evident in the ‘Siri Pemandangan - Sugarcane Juice Traders’, is executed in his own mannerism, layered with mysticism, colours and an ethereal quality to it. The tranquility that comes with this work is undeniable, transporting its viewers to simpler times in a rural setting.

Maamor Jantan (b. Kedah, 1961) Bali Scene, 2010
Est: RM3,500 - RM6,000
A self-taught artist, Maamor Jantan produces vibrant watercolour paintings with captivating compositions of nature and dragonflies. Known as one of the world's most beautiful destinations, Bali Scene attests to this statement and portrays a tranquil place composed of a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Executed in a panoramic horizontal format, the interesting composition evokes nostalgic memories of cultural rituals, illustrating offerings made to the gods — an act of showing gratitude. In Malay art circles, he is known as Mr. Cakcibor (The Dragonfly Man), although everyone knows his name, Maamor Jantan. A protégé of Khalil Ibrahim, Maamor Jantan has come of his own through sheer diligence and practices. He would go all around the country to paint, often with his group of friends and at one time with Khalil himself, when he was more mobile. He has set a palette of mauve hues from light to darker (nocturnal scenes) with delicate transparency. Whether it is a Malay kampung scene, kenduri, fishing village, the country landscapes, his Cakcibor will be there, large and small. Mentored by Khalil in 1984 when he was an apprentice machinist, it took him nearly 30 years before he had his first solo, titled Figment Of Imagination at Universiti Malaya Art Gallery, in April 2014, showing some 150 works. He was a resident artist there, and also had a stint at Belanda Gallery in Langkawi. He is also from the core Conlay group of artists. He is also a musician, leading a traditional keroncong (Malay orchestra) group which even performs in Indonesia.

MAAMOR JANTAN (b. 1961) Laman Cakcibor (Dragonfly Series), 1986, Watercolour on paper
Est: RM3,000 - RM5,000
A self-taught artist, Maamor Jantan produces vibrant watercolour paintings with captivating compositions. His unconventional approach distinguishes his style from other painters. Although he has been living in the city since the 1980s, he often portrays the East Coast scenes of paddy fields, fishing villages, boats, nets and the sandy beaches in his paintings. Among his favoured subject matters are the Kampung, Bali and Jogja series as well as Paradise series – the three themes in one – besides his profound Dragonfly series. His portrayal of the ‘cakcibor’ with their delicate, transparent wings showed his intimate connection with Nature. “I wanted people to realize how fragile our life really is. At the same time I did not want them to destroy the environment and how urgent it is to protect our ecosystem,” the artist revealed. Maamor Jantan held first solo exhibition at University Malaya in April 2014 consisting of 150 paintings from the day he first started painting till the present. He worked as an apprentice machinist in Petaling Jaya in the early 1980s, later taking on a role as an assistant curator with an art gallery in Kuala Lumpur. In 1984, he met Khalil Ibrahim who then became his mentor. REFERENCE http://e.koreanpress.net/detail.php?number=1618&thread=22r16
