The figurative art in art history linked to the oldest tradition
of art making. Since ancient civilization, the subject of a human body going
through different interpretation and backdrop from the resonance perspective of
religious to the portrayal of everydayness in urban landscape. While the
contemporary approaches might open up to further discussion, figurative art
inexhaustibly fascinates artist alike. As the title, ‘Configuration’,
literally translate as ‘an arrangement of parts or elements in a particular
form, figure, or combination’, the exhibition intended to yield a range of
attitudes tackling the subject of figurative against a miscellany of each
individual artists.
Figurative art never shy away from reconstruction
of modern outlook. As Malaysian art consistently going through changes, the
artistic impulses in each artists' work influenced by the dichotomy of cultural
lapse. The exhibition presenting the wide range of stylistic approaches from
Realism to Surrealism, and, Expressionism to Pop Art – all the more
distinctively present an understanding towards Western art historical canon.
Profoundly, reconciliation of East and West producing an exciting prospect of
modernity against the Malaysian social cultural background.
While the exhibition purportedly traded in figurative art theme,
nevertheless it resonate the thumping effort to promote Malaysian talents in
face of contemporary art. With such globalization has taken its toll beyond the
traditional virtue, art has move away from the Western institutionalization.
An inevitable of art to thrive in such peripheral sphere evidenced of
such phenomena. The artworks may show an intricacies of artist’ reality, as
being in the diverse subjectivity, from the issues of identity to cosmic
revelation, is all encompassed to celebrate human for humanity.
