About a solo exhibition by Rizlan Kamaruddin.
Tasik Chini in Pahang and several has inspired many artists, one of whom is Rizlan
Kamaruddin.
The Pahang-born artist said he was never more inspired than
when he was looking at the lush greenery on a mountain range, gazing at serene
lakes or glimpsing colorful flora amid green leaves.
He said such scenes had a pull factor that attracted him.
Capturing nature's beauty has become a passion in his life.
Outdoors and painting the scenes has always given him the greatest joy, ever since he was young.
In the aged of almost 70, the grandfather of 10, he can still indulge in his
passion and share it with those who appreciate such scenery.
Purposely titled Romanticizing the Palette - a solo exhibition at the Museum of Asian Art, University of Malaya, the art works depicts
nature in its full glory as seen through the eyes of the artist. The collection
features scenes from Tasik Chini, cool mountain streams and waterfalls, rows of
fishing boats tied up at a jetty, and serene images of lotus flowers.
Most of these works were inspired by scenes around Tasik Chini, Pahang.
