Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly.

The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

The Eaglemoss Delorean ( Remarks )

Image
finally got my hands on 130 issues of the infamous Eaglemoss Delorean. Apparently all the rumors and ( not ) so positive remarks for this 1/8 scale model is so true . Not for the faint hearted, this model seriously testing my limits firstly with their multiple tiny ( AP/DM/IP and whatever) screws and their ridiculous building technique.  Eaglemoss rounded up all those sick, selfish, not so ergonomic, Autocad, product designers to create one living hell for the builders. With mismatched parts and building instructions in their packaging, they created an unusual hell and sleepless nights for the subscribers. Imagine not knowing they going to fold halfway. journey begin with a broken steering rack. I have to scout the replacement for weeks 10 issues of building the engine and we have to store it away... oh the many joy of missing pieces not to forget, missing several issues resulting in leaving me and the builders high and dry for months. Eventually scouring the issues in the sec...
