Dusted Paintings

I haven't snap much photos for a few weeks and there's nothing much worth to put up here. So I'm going to exhibit a collections of paintings that I've done in the past years.

ANITA
Acrylic on canvas
12"x9"

I copied her portrait on a newspaper. It was an interview about an issue of botox and claims that she only use a traditional methods thought by her late mother, the legendary Siput Sarawak.

BeeGees Impersonator Nite
@ PJ Hilton
Pelaka on Styrofoam
16ftx16ft
Back in 2001 I was doing part-time at PJ Hilton and the proudest work I've done so far is this gigantic backdrop that took a week to finish. The brave guy on the ladder is me installing pieces by pieces for a one night use disposable backdrop.



Commissioned Portrait
Graphite(Pencil)on paper
37cmx27cm
A friend of a friend of mine ask to do her portrait, so I did.



Macam-macam hal...
Mixed Media
6ftx6ft
Song for friends. This piece won an Honourable Mention for the last Philip Morris Art Award in Malaysia in 2003. Too bad the competition didn't continue in Malaysia so I can reclaim the money I've spent on his product.




Logging for Teh Tarik
Acrylic on canvas
around 3ftx5ft
Environmental themed painting, this was also for competition organized by Global Environmental Centre (GEC) called Art+Earth Young Artist Award and also won Honourable Prize (4th place I think). Luckily I'm still young.



Malfunctioned Concern
around same size above
Acrylic on canvas
A sequel to the 'teh tarik' is also about logging issue but on different context. The title may sound a bit dramatic but the message is quite simple. A careless development plan.




Oil Are Made Of These
around same size above
Mixed Media
I always, and I'm sure most of the people are very concern about the invasion and casualties especially kids in the Middle East. Some people just can't get the fact that differences area made to create harmony.



Shower Your Love On Me
3'x4'
Acrylic and charcoal on canvas
Made after a visit to one of the quondam battleground, Vietnam also invaded by the same 'hero'. The hero claim to have won the war after they sprayed radioactive 'agent orange' and scram. It leaves the effect generation by generation.

Sultan and Bendahara

Recent paintings from Arif Fauzan Othman commissioned for display at the new museum in Johor.

Decision Decision

“Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision.”
Dean Hawkes

I say more than half the worry in the world is caused by extremely knowledgeable opportunist.

The Changing World of Work

Recently I was appointed to take photos for one of the leader in techno-magazine called SURF! for the title stated above. You can find it in your local bookstore and check it out yourself. These pictures below are the ones which didn't make it into the magazine. Check it out!

Wallflower

A candid shot that I find it interesting as it juxtaposed with the painting on the background.

Holiday Escape

Duit Raya

This is a picture of local authority took down over 10 houses and shop lots along Jalan Mat Raji, Padang Jawa. The reason is to widened the drainage system and the road. Source from the local authority said that the houses were built on illegal ground and the resident admits that it is, only they went a bit over the barrier. Fine.
So they don't get compensation because the land is not theirs.
Fine.
On tv9 last night reported that the resident have asked them to postponed the project for at least a month but of course they are professionals, have to be efficient and be right on schedule.
Fine.
Like the report I've made to them about mosquitoes and ask them to fog. It only took them 3 months to process. Anyways, they are doing their jobs. Aidilfitri is coming up. Pocket must be full. All went well...
