In this series, Raja Shahriman takes on a formalistic approach to create his works. Shahriman gave great attention to form. He hands forged metal plates to make convex and concave pieces. These were then placed together with curved rods to create the body of the work which takes on a representational form of a human torso. The representational male and female figures Shahriman created have grace and fluidity that is signature to his sculptures. Although the voids and hollow take on a secondary role, Shahriman’s clever incorporation of space within and between the solid forms adds a powerful expressive feature to his three-dimensional works.

Dalam mencipta karya siri ini, Raja Shahriman mengambil pendekatan secara formalistik. Bentukan atau ‘form’ arca tersangat penting kepada beliau. Dalam membentuk cembung dan cekung kepingan-kepingan logam, Raja Shahriman menggunakan kaedah tempa-hand forged. Ini kemudiannya disatukan dengan batang besi yang beralun bagi membentuk tubuh badan lelaki dan wanita yang gah dan penuh keanggunan. Beliau amat mahir dalam menggabungkan ruang didalam dan di antara bentukan bagi menghasilkan ciri-ciri yang lebih ekspresif terhadap karya tiga dimensinya.

Artworks by Syazwan Jusoh, Mixed media on canvas, Year 2019.

This is Raja Shahriman’s ninth(9th) solo sculpture exhibition-it will be in December 2019. (02/12/2019 till 02/02/2020)

Siri Lok
Lok: -asal perkataan ‘lekuk’.
-Membawa pengertian bengkang bengkok.. (Bending & crooked)
-Ia di guna pakai pada menyatakan sifat pada bilah keris..(the term used to state the kris bending & crooked blade.)

Falsafah perlambangan: Lok membawa erti perjalanan yang penuh dengan ujian. Semakin banyak atau
kuat lok nya,bererti semakin banyak atau berat ujiannya.

Philosophy: “Lok”- bending & crooked of the kris blade means a journey or life experience of a person-a test to a person’s life. The more crooked the bend of the blade means a heavier burden & challenges in a person’s life experiences.

Ibarat: Ibarat sungai yang berliku-liku.

Allah cipta manusia.
Manusia pula mencipta kerana Allah.
Setiap ciptaan itu adalah yang terbaik.
Itu tanda puja puji kita pada Allah.
Lok pada keris tanda laluan kehidupan berlekuk di ibaratkan untuk bangsa Melayu.
Laluan yang harus di perindahkan biarpun penuh kepayahan.
Itu tanda mengEsakan Tuhan…
Zikir tanpa suara terbit dari gerak dan rupa…

(Saiful Anwar b. Yahya, Waris Alam)

Sinopsis:

Liku-Liku adalah satu pameran seni yang mempamerkan karya-karya dari dua orang pelukis iaitu Nicholas Choong dan Muhammad Hafiz Azizi. Kedua-duanya amat berbakat dalam menghasilkan karya mereka walaupun teknik dan cara penyampaian agak berbeza dalam mengungkap makna Liku-Liku. Meskipun begitu, persamaan ketara adalah dari segi interpretasi mereka yang berkisar kepada bandaraya, kehidupan dan persekitaran kotaraya yang semakin hari penuh dengan pancaroba.

Bagi Hafiz Azizi, graduan dari Universiti Teknologi Mara, Seri Iskandar Perak, ini merupakan pameran ‘berdua’(two man show) kali kedua beliau. Kali pertama adalah pada tahun 2015, dengan gandingan Ng Kok Leong di galeri Pelita Hati, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. Karya awal Azizi berkisar kepada kesesakan kota metropolitan. Kini tahun 2018, beliau berterusan dengan karya cat minyaknya, masih tentang kehidupan di bandaraya tetapi dengan penumpuan dan fokus kepada pergelutan dan perjuangan seseorang serta kesinambungan hidup di celah-celah pembangunan kota pencakar langit.

Nicholas Choong pula seorang pelukis serba boleh dan pada awal pembabitan beliau dalam seni lukis banyak membabitkan karya-karya cat air dan lakaran (sketches). Sejak beberapa tahun ini beliau mula berjinak-jinak dengan cat minyak dan akrylik sebagai media utama menghasilkan karya. Penggunaan cat minyak dan akrylik ini amat menyerlah bila lukisan terkini Nicholas menampilkan senario bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Warna-warna dalam pelbagai tona yang mewakili bangunan-bangunan moden yang menyerlahkan suasana pembangunan yang dinamik.

Gandingan kedua-dua pengkarya ini amat serasi sekali. Walau pun terdapat perbezaan dari segi penghasilan karya tetapi persamaan dalam penghayatan subjek dalam karya-karya mereka amat terasa sekali. Karya mereka memperlihatkan komitmen yang gigih dalam penghasilan hasil seni yang bermutu tinggi. Muhammad Hafiz Azizi dan Nicholas Choong merupakan dua pengkarya baru yang berpotensi besar untuk mengukir nama mereka sebagai pengkarya seni yang sangat berkaliber dan mampu untuk bersaing dengan nama-nama pengkarya seni terkemuka Malaysia.

Synopsis:

‘Liku-Liku’ is an art exhibition featuring artworks of two painters-Nicholas Choong and Muhammad Hafiz Azizi. Both are very talented in producing their work with different technique and manner of presentation in translating the meaning of ‘Liku-Liku’. Nevertheless, it is quite apparent of their similarity in terms of their appreciation using subjects that revolves around the city, the city’s livelihood and the environment of our everyday lives.

For Hafiz Azizi, a graduate of Universiti Teknologi Mara, Seri Iskandar Perak, this is his second-two man show. His first was in 2015, partnering with Ng Kok Leong at Pelita Hati’s gallery in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. Azizi’s initial work revolves around the congestion of the metropolitan city. In 2018, he continues with his oil paint work, still about life in the city but his focus is more towards one’s struggles as well as a person’s continuation of living amidst the bustling skyscrapers.

Nicholas Choong is a versatile artist and at the beginning of his involvement in the art of painting, his works involves a lot of watercolor and sketches. Over the years he begins to tinker with oil paints and acrylics as his mainstream media in producing artworks. His recent oil and acrylic paint artworks is particularly impressive featuring Kuala Lumpur city scenarios-a variant of colors representing modern buildings highlighting the dynamic development environment of the city.

The pairing of these two artists seems to be a very compatible combination. Although there are differences in terms of producing the work, the similarities in their appreciation of the subjects in their works are quiet bountiful and impressive. Their work shows a strong commitment towards producing high-quality artworks. Muhammad Hafiz Azizi and Nicholas Choong are two new potential artists carving their names to be great artists among those well known Malaysian artists.

Barnett Newman (1984) once wrote in an essay, “Instead of making cathedrals out of Christ, man, ‘life’, we are making it out of ourselves”. This line sums up of what abstract expressionism and abstract art itself, is – free from the norms of art, expressing emotions from deep within the artists themselves.
Independence Day is a day of celebration and remembrance of the past that has shaped our present. It is a day where we are reminded of our country’s history, both good and bad-the day we achieved liberation for the people, and the power to shape the country’s future. No better art form is suited to express these feelings than abstract art, art that defies the formalities of art itself. Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect. In Malaysia, abstract arts had become more accessible and showed alternative ways by artists to describe visual experience- which is not representational and could be based on a subject or may have no source at all in the external world.
To commemorate the upcoming ‘Merdeka day’ celebrations, Pelita Hati Gallery of Art would be hosting an art exhibition entitled ‘Abstrak Merdeka: Liberation of Expression’ from 27th August 2016 until 25th September 2016. Incorporating Independence Day as the main theme for the exhibition, ‘Abstrak Merdeka: Liberation of Expression’ celebrates 59 years of independence with works of abstract art from selected artists, mostly who are new to Malaysia’s art scene. We chose to give opportunities to these new and upcoming artists hoping that this will encourage them to pursue their goals of becoming a well-known artist someday. This also hopes to liberate them from feelings of despair and disappointment stemming from the difficulties of being an artist.
