      ASKANDAR UNGLEHRT, DR. (b. 1943) Storm, 1995, Acrylic on paper mounted on board

      Est: RM2,000 - RM4,000

      ‘Storm’ proves to be an aberrant in Dr Askandar Unglehrt’s oeuvre for the period when he was more into cerebral methodical works with a surrealist, ironic bent. The use of black broad-based strokes seem a playful exercise of creating perspectival ambiguity in a controlled ambient.Dr Askandar Unglehrt was trained as a linguist with a PhD at the Sorbonne University in Paris, but ventured into Art even when he was in his home country, Germany. A self-taught artist, he had had solos in Ravensburg, Germany (Gallery Wonchenblatt) in 1984 and Switzerland in 1985, before mounting his first Malaysian-Kuala Lumpur solo at the Rupa Gallery in 1988, with another at the Valentine Willie Fine Art in 1997, and two exhibitions at The Art Gallery Penang in 1998 and 2001. Dr Askandar is also a collector, and was the chief judge in the 1998 Philip Morris Asean Art Awards – Malaysia.

      ASKANDAR UNGLEHRT, DR. (b. 1943) Wildlife Illustrated, 1997, Collage and mixed media on paper

      Est: RM3,000 - RM5,000

      Dr Askandar Unglehrt penchant of using the past to comment on the present, particularly on vestigial or subtle differences, can be seen in this sardonic look on Japanese hegemonism. The Japanese Occupation of Malaya-Singapore, gets fresh licence in the dominance of the Japanese samurai overlord, clad in all the armoury and on horseback, with the anime heroes like Ultraman and Power Rangers, transplanted in the padi-fields, and dominating very young minds on Malaysian television. The placid, plodding buffalo still exists more like a ghost, bereft of its role in the wake of automation, and with a net constricting its movements, not that it is likely to move a nerve at all. The title is probably an allusion to the seminal book, Wild Life Illustrated (Odhams, London) published in 1945, just at the end of the war. This irreverent take is more in keeping with Dr Askandar’s Daliesque Malaysiana.Dr Askandar Unglehrt was trained as a linguist with a PhD at the Sorbonne University in Paris, but ventured into Art even when he was in his home country, Germany.
