My inclination in art is Contemporary. However, I grew up appreciating art via Modernist abstracts having exposed to the works of Dato' Ibrahim Hussein, who is a Modernist who plays with abstract. My favourite Modernist is Ismail Latiff. So, eventhough I choose to go Contemporary, I figured, why not just do a Modernist piece for the fun of it. It shall remind me of those days when I learn to appreciate about art, which was, predominantly Modernist. This piece is probably my only Modernist oil painting, so far.

On 23 September 2012 our charismatic exPM quoted, "Tetapi mereka (Bumiputeras) belum sampai ke tahap bersaing dengan kaum lain terutama dalam bidang perniagaan dan perusahaan." at this link Suara Hati Dr. Mahathir . This is why there was that 30% Bumi quota in the first place. But now it's gone. This art work attempts to remind us all of that sentiment. The 3 Hulks represent Bumis - strong in population but only 30% equity target? The 70% is driven by non-Bumis where their small population did not stop them from advancing forward in economy - Just like the 7 Spidermen who are small but cunning and far better equiped (... than the Hulks)

KELAHIRAN is about the birth of a nation, Malaysia. It is actually my own expression of the Malaysian flag. Notice the red and white stripes and the blue plain. The flag has a 14 spoke star in front of the moon. That does not make sense geographically. The stars, as we know, has always been far, far farther from the moon. Hence I decided to pain the moon in front with the star shining from far in the galaxy. The moon is also my way of giving tribute to my favourite Modernist painter, Ismail Latiff, who never fail to paint a moon in each and every art work that he produces. This piece is however not a Modernist style. I take it as Contemporary because there is an element of realism (The moon as well as the standing figure of the 1st Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman) combined with the random splash of energetic feel in the red lines like that of Husin Hourmain's work (a Islamic Contemporary artist). But, I leave it to the viewers to decide. It's art anyway. It is open for interpretation.
