    • Mazli Mat Som (b. 1938 - 1990) Mother And Child
      May. 19, 2024

      Mazli Mat Som (b. 1938 - 1990) Mother And Child

      Est: RM10,000 - RM18,000

      A tender portrait of a young mother and child wrapped snugly to her heart using a carrying cloth is finely portrayed by Mazli Mat Som. The beauty's soft, warm eyes and tender smile is remarkably expressed in this image, complemented by tranquil blue hues in the background. Rendered with naturalism, the mother and child are composed with the medium of pastel applied finely to create a sense of solidity, reflecting everlasting maternal love through skilful rendering of anatomy and colours. Mazli Mat Som, who succeeded Dato' Hoessein Enas to helm the Angkatan Pelukis SeMalaysia (previously SeMenanjung), is best known for his two iconic works in the collection of the National Art Gallery: Menanti Nelayan (1961) and Yati (Noriati, 1964). As a protégé of Dato' Hoessein, he upheld and promoted the best figurative traditions but died five years before his mentor. Among those active during his time were Idris Salam, Mohd Sallehuddin, Sabtu Mohd Yusof and his wife Hamidah Suhaimi, who painted similarly well in the figurative tradition. In his second outing in the Henry Butcher Art Auction on Nov 3, 2019, his Malay Boy (1970) raised a premium of a record RM38,080.

    • Mazli Mat Som (b. 1938 - 1990) Untitled, 1963
      Jan. 14, 2024

      Mazli Mat Som (b. 1938 - 1990) Untitled, 1963

      Est: RM10,000 - RM18,000

      Celebrating the art of figurative drawing, Mazli Mat Som is masterful in capturing the essence of his live models. Dressed in a blue colour baju kebaya, the common daily attire worn by Malay women in that era, the gentle and kind expression of a demure young woman captures the imagination of the viewer. The artist succeeds in bringing out nuances of the human expression, using soft strokes which contrasts with the lighting and rich shadows that evoke depth and movement.

      Est: RM12,000 - RM20,000

      A realist portrait painter, Mazli Mat Som is masterful in capturing the spirit of his live models, in a naturalistic manner.

      Mazli Mat Som (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1938 - d. 1990) Gadis Melayu, 1977

      Est: RM30,000 - RM50,000

      ‘Bathers’ in the alfresco is a favourite theme among artist, both East and West. Here, Mazli Mat Som seems wary of avoiding the style of his mentor Dato’ Hoessein Enas’ Misty Morning Series of sarong-clad women bathing by a secluded waterfall. Dato’ Hoessein’s compositions were in turn inspired by the Indonesian Basuki Abdullah. The woman, back tilted to viewer and seated on a cluster of rocks, is taking a dip in what looks like a seaside with the top of the dress slightly lowered revealing the smooth tones of her back, and with her hands clasping the front. The wavy line bands of her dress have a lulling effect of the sea waves lapping the shore. What is at odds with her apparent modesty, is that she is boldly depicted looking back at viewer. It is a nice azure day.
