PUNCAK AHRAM

ZENITH

Johan Ishak

Acrylic and Ink on Canvas

PUNCAK AHRAM literally means the "Zenith of a Pyramid". There are no pyramids in this work. Rather, zenith here represents a subliminal state of mind that this piece represents. It is the peace of mind associated with enlightenment achieveable via methods such as Yoga and other forms of spiritual contemplations. To achieve that feel (of subliminal enlightenment), a departure from contemporary genre is warranted resulting in a Modernist Abstract Expressionism approach with a hint of Pop Art to contemporarise it back.
