      • Aely Manaf (b. 1975) Figure #Red, 2016
        Jun. 25, 2023

        Aely Manaf (b. 1975) Figure #Red, 2016

        Est: RM3,000 - RM6,000

        Faces and figures play a big role in Aely Manaf's art – thick impastoes, splotchy, blurry and fuzzy, so as to dissemble forms, causing visual obstruction. In this piece comprised of rich and expressive tones of browns and red, the seated lady has her face and torso obscured. Aely Manaf is noted for his disfigured human faces. His colour play could be linked to his being a purveyor of painting colour products. He became noticed in 2013 when his work, Exclaimation Points, won the US$1,000 Bronze Medal in the UOB Painting of the Year under the 'Emerging Artist' category. Prior to that, he has taken part in group exhibitions like the Young And New Part III (2011) and IV (2012) at HOM Art Trans, and in other exhibitions in contemporary art spaces like Core Design Gallery (2012), and Curate Henry Butcher (2016).

        AELY MANAF (b. 1975) FIGURE# RESPONSIBILITY, 2016, Oil and ink on canvas

        Est: RM3,000 - RM5,000

        Faces and figures play a big role in Aely Manaf’s art – thick impastoes, splotchy, blurry and fuzzy, so as to dissemble forms and make identity and identification difficult. One can say he deliberately makes the subject look ugly, but it is also to create emotional states about the human condition rather than something about say, nafsu (desire), or about human idolatory, which is discouraged in Islam. Sometimes, one is tempted to ask, Does ‘camouflage’ or ‘cover-up’ make something more ‘desirable’ because of the piqued curiosity or the showing of a thing in all its natural state end all the mystery and questioning nature? Whose ‘responsibility’ is it, the one revealing or the one perceiving what it was is being revealed, and how?Aely Manaf is noted for his disfigured human faces.

        AELY MANAF (b. 1975) IMPRESSION I, 2011, Printing ink and oil on canvas

        Est: RM4,500 - RM7,500

        Aely Manaf likes to disfigure the human face into a complex colour shape to make them ambiguous and to give off different emotional states. Whether impressions or imagination or expressions, the combination of colours and how, can make one ornamentative, pathetic (by layerings) or psychological. One such work, Exclaimation Points, won him US$1,000 for the Bronze Medal in the Emerging Artist category of the UOB Painting of the Year in 2013. Playing on raw sensibilities and the balance of positive and negative planes, he expands his repertoire with creative flair. No wonder, this 42-year-old has been included in main group exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur’s contemporary art spaces such as HOM Art Trans (Young & New Part III and IV) in 2011 and 2012 respectively, Core Design Gallery (2012), and G13 Gallery (20@G13, 2013).

      • AELY MANAF (b. 1975) Portrait #07, 2015, Mixed media on canvas
        Nov. 06, 2016

        AELY MANAF (b. 1975) Portrait #07, 2015, Mixed media on canvas

        Est: RM2,000 - RM4,000

        With the resurgence of figurations, the game plan seems to be how skillful and imaginative an artist is in playing up the variations and complexities of depicting the Figure to convey whatever messages. Aely Manaf, for one, has found some recognition for play of facial ambiguities, tweaking the fragmented-fragmenting forms and textures. This seemed to work when he won US$1,000 for the Bronze Medal in the Emerging Artist category of the UOB Painting of the Year in 2013, for his work, Exclaimation Points. This triumph was celebrated again in the UOB-ic exhibition, A Gathering of Past Winners, featuring new works of 12 winners of the prestigious competition dedicated to contemporary concerns in art or as art, at the Curate@Henry Butcher in August-September 2015. He was featured again in A Raya Celebrations of Generations in Art at the same venue this year.His raw sensibility and depiction of the fragile and forlorn expressions, arguably playing on positive and negative planes, are already evident when he was selected for the Young and New Part III and IV exhibitions - a platform for new voices and emerging young artists - at HOM Art Trans in 2011 and 2012 respectively. He was also featured in exhibitions at two other contemporary art spaces in Core Design Gallery (2012) and G13 (20@G13, 2013).
