Artist Statement

Unlike most contemporary artists who reject traditional arts and crafts in favour of more conceptually driven works, I embrace both traditional crafts and decorative aesthetics. I use the classic songket shuttle weaving techniques and unconventional materials to create densely coloured tapestries, which I describe as “metaphors” for identity and nationhood. My work succeeds in piecing the supposedly firm boundaries between art and textile, contemporary and traditional, abstraction and pattern making.

I am trying to elevate the art of weaving to the next level, transforming it from a two dimensional fabric to a three-dimensional art form.

Haffendi Anuar


Artist Statement

My selection of geometric painted panels displays the exuberance of urban vernacular architecture in Southeast Asia. Inspired by the language of modern Western geometric abstraction and the architectural elements in my home city, Kuala Lumpur, such as grill works on doors and windows in rougher neighbourhoods and columns, I examine the motifs in relation to Western art history and the culturally injected idea of modernity. The panels, which are made into certain standardized sizes, appear at first glance to be machine made, but are actually painted and sanded through a meticulous process of craftwork. The paintings’ often smooth surfaces and at times metallic or fluorescent colours make reference to the prevalence of digital culture and the computer screen. They have also been multiplied and constructed into installations, along with freestanding sculptures, depicting overwhelming fictional city facades of various perspectives.

Hasanul Isyraf Idris


Artist Statement

HOL (Higher Order Love), Chapter 2: Grey Marrow consists of drawings that are mostly related to plagues and diseases which surfaced during the post-internet era, from the 80s until today.

Some of my earliest memories of diseases are of those that attack livestock or pets, these include: the foul pox (puru), Newcastle disease (Sampar ayam), asthma attack among cats, polio and fungal growth on fishes… The virus incubation period ranges from two to fifteen days, with varying visible symptoms of alteration. Sampar for example, when contracted, makes the chickens asthmatic, causes limping, swelling of eyes and reduces egg production. These plagues can be transmitted through direct contact or more dangerously, are sometimes airborne. Its inhibition often alters the physical quality of its carrier during the fatal stages by permeating the bloodstream, invading and weakening the respiratory system and other vital organs. If one is lucky, one can be cured with early detection and intervention.

As a child, my mother would often pass down various traditional healing remedies, often done verbally. These home remedies of the kampong would vary in technique, often includes some form of natural herbal medication fused with water. Some of these healing methods would stem from experience, though some might very well be a complete concoction of her imagination. I recall conducting a successful surgery over our infected poultry, keeping to her instructions as she held the bird down.

Amongst these dreadful diseases Polio holds my fascination till today. With its strongholds mostly on remote islands and isolated lands in the 70s, it served as the setting of my most explicit disease-related-memory: a story of an island inhabited only by polio patients, tucked in a remote part of the country in the 70s. This story, coupled with superstitions and stigma around it, further fueled my fascination as I went on to imagine how a supposed polio community would survive and cope with the everyday as the poliovirus continues to invade and alter their body.

The eventual access to the internet allowed me to retrace my memories of these diseases. This memory jog would meander from the scientific to childhood stories, real life experiences and hearsays. They emerge vividly, often evolved in my imagination as astonishing characters, the protagonists mostly polio sufferers themselves.

The drawings in HOL, Chapter 2: Grey Marrow records my journey with medicine. Be it a minor surgical attempt on a pet that I have kept, family members that had cataract operations, or a family member who survived cancer, these relatable mementoes are intimately archived and recontextualised in my drawings.

Hasanul Isyraf Idris (b. 1978, Malaysia) was trained at Mara University of Technology (UiTM), in Perak. He has received a number of awards, including the Young Contemporary Arts Award in 2007 at the National Visual Arts Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, the Incentive Award at the Open Show held at the Shah Alam Gallery and the Consolation Prize for the Young Talent Art Exhibition at the Penang Art Gallery, Penang. Hasanul produces works in a variety of media, from paintings and meticulously crafted drawings to painted oven-baked clay sculptures. Mining inspiration from within and well as local folklore and regional myths, he articulates his personal struggles as an artist by personifying them as strange characters that inhabit his invented universes. Influenced by the graphics of underground comic books, 1960s science fiction, fast food, street art and fashion, he juggles pop -culture references with a personal viewpoint. Recurring topics in his practice are the meaning of life and death, memories and fantasies, sin and reward.

Yeoh Choo Kuan


Artwork Statement

Working in the veins of gestural abstraction, Yeoh Choo Kuan’s continues to push the boundaries of his self-coined “Fleshing Abstraction” paintings. Yeoh investigates the role of color in this luscious display of tactile surfaces and expressive mark-making on canvas. Exploring the qualities of paint in an intuitive manner, the scratched surfaces of the paintings allude to subject matters that are intimate, violent and humourously dysfunctional. Manipulating layered paint, Yeoh suggests evidence of aestheticized violence lurking in our daily lives.

Yeoh Choo Kuan (b. 1988, Malaysia) lives and works in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His work constitutes a unique synthesis of disintegrating working method, known for his self-coined “Fleshing Abstraction”, a process that focuses on the characteristics of color, texture, surface and construction materials. Choo Kuan works with imageries that both engage the hedonistic and disastrous, in which the results are sculptural whilst appearing painterly.
