art

Trudged down to the Singapore Art Museum to support a good friend who is also a wonderful local artist who was showing his piece as part of an exhibition of local Malay artists organised by APAD. I was really impressed with the quality of pieces both from newer/younger artists as well as the veteran artists.

There were some common themes that were featured. Islam was featured predominantly, with many pieces alluding to how Islam features in the life of modern Malay muslims. Tradition, and the threat of its extinction in modern society also came through clearly.

Congrats Rofi on your piece!
