Pusaka Hulubalang is fine art exhibition portraying works of renowned and upcoming Malaysian visual artists on silat.
Silat is a graceful martial art and an integral component of the Malay culture in Malaysia. It has often been associated with the great Malay warriors such as Hang Tuah who is said to have fought and consistently beat exponents and warriors from other empires through his silat prowess as well as his intelligence. The Malay silat has many variations and forms based on where it originates and the masters who established them. The “buah” or “bunga” (terms used in silat), are dance movements used for either for defence, offence or for locking the opponent. The artistic movements in silat although executed with grace and gentility are in fact potent and powerful movements that can be lethal. Mastering the art of silat requires extensive training to instill the individual with the values of self – discipline, self-dependence, self-respect as well as respect for others. Silat is also linked to mysticism – the silat master is often said to possess powers beyond that of a normal human being. Although these powers are often related to the practice of spiritual matters, their inherent knowledge of the human body and their knowledge in the art of self defence is what make them invincible.
As silat in itself is a fascinating art of self defence, it is not surprising that some of the most prominent Malaysian visual artists choose to portray silat in their artowrks. Included in the exhibition Pusaka Hulubalang are the works of Raja Shahriman Raja Aziddin. Raja Shahriman is a renowned Malaysian contemporary sculptor who chooses to work with metal. He employs the forging technique very similar to that used by traditional blacksmiths to create his artworks. Drawing on his knowledge and practice of silat, Raja Shahriman creates abstract figurative sculptures, warriors in action that breathe with life and dynamism. Other participating artists include Amiruddin Ariffin, Aidel Yussof and Mior Rizzuan Rosli.
