Through this discussion, all of us will go over on how the art work as an idea in Malaysia modern day art details and Jalaini Abu Hassan is one of the Malaysia leading modern day artist would be the panel for this session. Jai has been known for his intense and hard, energetic art work and Malay identical may always be found in his paintings.
We as well look at Jais Beijing case study which business lead him to produce Halal (2007) to get an idea of how the environment and new surrounding also can be idea to generate artwork. However , the discussion as well bring us to his earlier painting and how the art work process completed get such a tag or why did he leave his painting seem unfinished to exhibit that actually it really is complete.
There will be area of interest and analysis of artwork which in turn some of his work been view by simply different perspective and interesting critics which usually shown that reading a painting could be very subjective. It depends around the background of audience and how they agree to the idea of specialist also important how the view can be made.
Issue Discussed
Issue that we mentioned here is how thought can be contact form through encounter, new around, and cultural current problems. Through experience which is for Jai he has been in to two willpower of art practise which is in Slade School of Art has known for strict, orthodox and conservative type of producing art work whereas when hes in Pratt, New York Jai has become more toward new refreshing and very subjective in developing an art. Towards both different experience, comes an exceptional presentation of artwork coming from Jai which is structured, incredibly fond of prevent lettering yet very summary in thought, movement and flow of drawing, departing marks being a process of intelectual. Jai likewise believe that a great artist creativity or subject matter is always exactly about yourself or personal.
New surrounding is approximately Beijing case study which Jai been remote and feel very alienated because of failure to combine around wth surrounding and the Chinese persona make him uneasy with not knowing the particular character mean/say. Then he realizes of how strong of the wording halal in our community then comes the idea to generate the Halal painting. Just how strong the word is been highlighted by utilizing capital stop letters that printed upon left of the painting.
This also include a number of the social problems in the drawing which is just how closeness of Malay and halal word but simply for food source and how the handling of product. Hence comes to interpersonal, we even now blinded flip, unaware of our society require treatment desperately.
Focus of Discussion
In this online community we reviewed of the source and how idea is kind. From Jais view, thought comes from knowledge, environment, current issues and social background of the musician. In this case, visit to Beijing is the perfect example of how new encounter and around effect the artist impression and outstanding a new thought from the current experience. Jai encounter of new knowledge when in Beijing encourage him to produce Halal artwork that have the feeling of alienated and uneasyness a sense of the Chinese character lead him to use the character alone in the attracting.
One of the main concepts is halal word or term has been a very strong influence in our daily life even we all unaware regarding it. In Beijing case study, it shown that the unfamiliar towards the Chinese character has been a very strong reason never to believe from the source of meals either it truly is halal or perhaps not. Although the Chinese characther only demonstrate name of meat part, still this individual doubt regarding it because of the antiestablishment feeling of that character. This show that how solid the text halal pertaining to Muslim culture in Malaysia and how the misunderstood can caused simply because there isnt Arabic or Romanic buchstabenfolge to explained halal.
Jai also think that wording is important to act while open funnel for interaction purpose and from the notification itself it might be a very different perspective since it can lead to importance of understanding.
Area of Interest
One of the interest in this theme is once comes to the development of Jais artwork previously and the subject matter that this individual always start up in his sketching. He constantly plays around with a large amount of medium just like charcoal, watercolour and essential oil paint. He like challenge in making images and always consider other moderate when he realize that he already feel the easyness with current medium.
Even as can see that Jai also expose to two ways of education which is orthodox and summary. This likewise brings influence to Jais drawing prior to he visited Pratt and after. Using him self as reference point, still Jai include Malay identity within his detect. Example of Pisang Rebus a muslim, he still very fond of including some other subject things such as ikan masin and Malay residence interior.
Clown or pisang actually is main Malay ethnic food that usually been employed in kenduri or after Jumaat plea as token or sedekah. Ikan masin and pisang rebus is usually one of dish for town folks which can be very rare and unknown in big town. Its very much related to the Malay room which this individual includes as being a background through this drawing.
Some other interest is a composition of drawing which he often leave a mark or perhaps white background to make sure that it can be balance in composition and also to show the intelectual process. Using caption or block letters is also certainly one of Jais validations in his style. He stated that letters also can provide as a caption or as one of the drawing element. It also provides certain set of consistent, politics, revolution, war and solid statement.
Examination of Artwork
Jai is very much talented musician and this individual also deep not using only one channel, but versatile. He just like playing around with charcoal, watercolour and polymer-bonded not forget bitumen also within the list. Example this individual use a lot way back in 93 in Sesiput and this individual using it once again in Mantera series (2004).
As we are able to see the using of stable colours such as black not really making enter boring
although make that more interesting as we can see the movement, line and strengh of attracting being arise. Leaving signifies and look soiled, yet the piece of art still appeal to audience in lots of way just like composition which is very well structed, and leaving white painting as second colour and wording put in the painting.
Experimental drawing such as Tribute to Latiff Mohidin (2005) sees that Jai using pattern and imperfection, overlapping image and background setting that there is no primary or secondary subject in this portrait, is a very succesfull attempt to create new findings and thought in Malaysia art scene.
As we can easily see that ambigous are collection clearly creating images that equal which usually mean Latiff Mohidin is same like Malay kerawang aesthetic, necessary for social Malay culture, yet very humble and down to earth person. The significant of Malay identity shown very loud and clear through this drawing by using kerawang, but not to ignore that rooster image proven on the left side is always act as second subject matter. Through this drawing Jai run a little bit from using dark colour and charcoal but he employ very yellow, strong radiant colours but nevertheless he keep a white background.
After that comes the Halal inspired after the Beijing trip. Employing Chinese persona in his attracting to show fault meat (which he incorrect interperated in the first encounter) bring up the issues of the phrase halal which has been used extensively in Malaysia but not in China. The uneasyness, alianated and suffercation when staying there has been transfer to fabric and Halal being produce to help remind how big the influence and effect of halal terms towards Malay society.
In this drawing Jai still have fun with ambigous graphic which is the background is blending with the primary image of Malay village guy and a buffalo. Jai still maintain his style which is giving stains or marks, and a blank space in this sketching act as separator. The halal stencil printed on top as a statement or title of drawing and colours yet again he work with mixture of darkish and dark as dominon colour.
Conclusion
In this community forum, we can resume that skill can work not only while medium pertaining to artist to speak, but the very easy presentation which contain all about the artist perspective and encounter. Once again, its all about the artist personal and specific thoughts that been viewed onto fabric to share with open public. In matters of contemporary artwork in Malaysia, Jai constantly caught the group with his individual style and fusion of narrative kampung elements with modern global culture help to make his sketching a very good. Noor Mahnun: 2004 said that Acts just like alchemist, Jai turning bitumen and grilling with charcoal into associated with wonder that beyond expectation.
