The Petronas Gallery launched an art exhibition that features twelve emerging artists on Friday, the 29th August 2008. The artists are Ahmad Zuraimi Abdul Rahim, Elias Yamani Ismail, Fabian Tan, Kamal Mustafa, Khairul Azril Ismail , Maslin Md. Ramly, Mohd Afifee Ibrahim, Mohd. Fuad Md Arif, Mohd. Saharuddin Supar, Nadhirah Anuar, Safrizal Shahir and Tan Sei Hon. Some of my personal favorites are Ahmad Zuraimi Abdul Rahim’s works, Fabian Tan’s corner art , Nadhirah Anuar’s scroll art and Tan Sei Hon’s mandalas.

The artist and the artworks selected were due to their innovation in using fresh and unique approaches in the making of their art. They are also in the forefront of new media including reinventing the classical art practices like painting, print making and sculpture. This show is about the process of creativity and how and why an artist make his or her works. The exhibition is entitled thus because the curator wants to show that art is a process that continues to evolve. It is an exhibition that delves into the thoughts and perceptions of of an artist’s mind and it is meant to spur greater interest and forms of creativity among emerging artists , art fraternity and especially among the young so that Malaysia would produce more creative citizens.

Guests standing from left to right :Roslisham Ismail aka Ise (curently compiling video interviews with kids in Hanoi and Sydney, going to Shanghai soon), Liew Kwai Fei ( artist and curator of Valentine Willie Gallery , who just ended his own exhibition entitled “The Rhythm of Doing Things), Lim Ai Woei (emerging artist currently exhibiting at City Gallery , an assistant curator at National Art Gallery), Raja Shariman (veteran sculptor, currently exhibiting at National gallery) and Tan Sei Hon (exhibiting artist and curator of National Art Gallery)

The exhibition is on until the 12th of October 2008

    such works done by Elias Yamani Ismail really caught my eye instantly. I love his artwork using boxes and those with lightbox and wires did know it can be done that way…really inspiring well done! Hope to see more of his works soon

    Thought of sharing with you guys

    Taken from kakiseni:

    Working Title refers to a process. A process of artistic creation. An on-going endeavour. An on-going process of (mis)understanding and (re)creation, for the artist, the curators, the audience.
