STILL LIFE
These two are one of my favourite paintings so far. These artworks are mostly about how we treat historical/valuable/functional objects or artefacts, keeping them in cabinets and leaving them untouched for a long period of time. Moreover, the choice of colour shows that the objects have assimilated in the cabinet for so long just for display. This also reflects how we are under appreciating historical figures, talents and culture.
The drawing of a gramophone, a violin and an old radio, on the other hand, is about P. Ramlee who was a singer, a composer, a director and an actor, whose unbeatable and incomparable masterpiece, the younger generations have started to forget.
The drawing of the tea sets are based on the unused tea sets at my house which are for display only.
