Critique Series #7 : A Tribute to Pago-Pago
Oil on Sculpture

Yusuf Ghani checking out "Tribute to Pago-Pago @ Galeriiizu
Critique series is a continuation of the sculptural ‘Bench’ series now residing at the Tapak (Yusuf Ghani’s art gallery) and Galleriiizu permanent collection and also ‘Ubud’ Series of oil paintings on canvas. It is a sort of self criticism to my own 2 dimensional paintings and 3 dimensional sculptures. Why just paint on two dimensional canvas when you can paint on 3-dimensional sculpture and vice-versa? This intuitive artistic dilemma triggers me to actually explore all possibilities; to the deepest depth of my paintings and at the same moment bringing my sculpture to a new height and subsequently giving the art piece a multi functional presence to the space. These triple pronged artistic endeavor is my personal experimentation to the physical occupation of mind and space, a catalyst to a spritual and metaphysical journey far beyond the limitation of time and space.
Critique Series #7 : A Tribute to Pago-Pago, one of several pieces from the 2005 Critique Series, is a reminiscence of the nostalgic bygone era, paying homage to one of the most significant and important period in the Malaysian art history. With no doubt, Pago-Pago Series by most prominent Master Painter/Poet, Latif Mohidin, lays down a solid foundation to the expressionist art movement in this region.
