Legends of Malacca by ARP RAPH
7 - 30 June 2023
PINKGUY is pleased to present the Legends of Malacca, a solo exhibition by ARP RAPH. The exhibition runs from 7 - 30 June 2023.
A Mat Salleh, a foreigner, finds himself in Malaysia with a collection of 13 new artworks focused on the historical Port of Malacca. The motivation behind this endeavor lies in the concept of lines—the lines that connect people, places, and time. These lines serve as parallels, vectors that depict scenes, thoughts, and universes from the past and present, all of which connect the artist to the theme of Malacca.
The series of 13 artworks, varying in size, portray scenes ranging from historic Malacca to a more contemporary visual style. The intention is to achieve a dynamic balance that engages the viewer. Combining oil and acrylic mediums, these new pieces aim to provide a window into 600 years of history, capturing the essence of the period.
As always, the artist's objective is to create a dialogue with the viewer. The artworks incorporate anecdotes, acting as hidden gems within the composition. In a world dominated by artificial intelligence, the artist sets forth with a guiding principle: to render what this new technology cannot—an essence of creative analysis and a narrative that enables conversation between the viewer and the artist. Importantly, this approach emphasizes individuality, recognizing that the thread connecting all the works would be lost if one were to rely solely on a computer-generated representation.
