I am also a musician,... an amateur one. I have a guitar. A Gibson Les Paul. I love my guitar. It looks sexy. The curves of its edges are as if the hips of a women. To signify this love, I named my guitar Sabrina. What other surname can Sabrina use if not the brand of the guitar itself, Gibson. To demonstrate Sabrina's sex appeal, I inserted a breast,... if you don't mind.

DEATH

at 3:55 AM



Title: Death
Medium: Acrylic on Jute
Dimension: 82cm X 183cm
Artist: Haslin Ismail
Acquisition Date: 14 June 2013


I puke when I see people buying art work at hundreds of thousands of Ringgit at art auctions simply because they are collecting works of yesteryears. Let the institutions such as banks, universities, councils or even the Balai Seni Visual Negara (formerly Balai Seni Lukis Negara) collect those. No need to rush into retrospective movement. You have already missed the train. The values of Ibrahim Hussein's or Latif Mohidin's or Yusof Ghani's have gone up through the roof. No joke, you might as well buy a house.
 
Instead, it is probably more economical to buy something like this (See image) by a young emerging contemporary Malaysian artist, Haslin Ismail. The capital gains would probably be better and your cash stuck in art inventory would be less taxing. This one is called Death from his (Haslin's) Transfiguration body of art on display now at G13 Gallery, Kelana Jaya.

FAMILY TREE

Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 12:09 AM

Title: Family Tree
Medium: Bitumen/Acrylic on Canvas
Dimension: 150cm X 165cm
Artist: Husin Hourmain
Acquisition Date: 10 June 2013
I have always wanted a good piece from Husin (Photo below). His solo show, Awal Hurouf Asal Hurouf, sold out all his work from Alif to Ya. It was the game of waiting. So I waited, until a good opportunity came..... it was this work, Family Tree, Husin's one and only attempt of expressing using bitumen (or so I was told). Never wait. When a good piece appears, grab it!

 I protest the Israel invasion of Palestine. One of the most affected areas of Palestine would be Gaza. This art work shows the pain and sufferings of the people of Gaza. They have become prisoners in their own home. As you may have noticed, the colours of the walls and floor are similar to that of the Palestinian flag.
