Kian's ArtQuest @ Road To Sahara Exhibition by Suzlee Ibrahim

2011-03-09T23:44:00.000-08:00

"Sahara Series are works inspired
by my journey to the Sahara Desert,
in September 2010. During this trip,
I made small sketches on paper
based on my observation and mood.
The process was transferred onto a few
different sizes of canvas.
From the cooling eyes of the green grass
and trees of the fertile oasis to the heat
and hot desert; it inspired me to paint
expressively on my canvas.

On the canvas, I let my hands moved
spontaneously with my gestures and
splash of colours. I worked on layers
of colours; most of the time using acrylic
and bitumen. In the process, the layers
of colours built up, thin and thick lines
from oil bar showed from beneath and
top of the colours. The butimen would then
flow and moved with thinner, melted and
some colours became transparent caused
by the erosion. The cloudiness of bitumen
gave somewhat a vague effect to the colours
underneath. At some areas, I ran over bitumen
strokes to obstruct the original gestured.

My works make rhythm. My gestural movement,
directly or indirectly added to the use of bitumen
on top of acrylic and oil bar; all created texture
and mood in my paintings. My artwork takes
the audience into depth and space; a journey
created on a piece of canvas"

Kian's ArtQuest - Malaysian Artists Revealed (Kota Bahru)

2011-03-01T04:14:00.000-08:00

After wrapping up the
interviews in Kuantan,
we were on the road again,
this time heading
to Kota Bahru.
Due to road condition
I estimated that it would
take us about 7 hours
to reach our destination.
After forcing my writer
to be the navigator and

getting us on the right track,

he quickly fell asleep

(sigh, here I thought I

would have some company).

Oh well, at least I have

a CD Jane (another writer)

gave me to accompany me...

(I think it's driving my writer

crazy, after playing the same

songs for the gazillion time)

It dawned me that I forgot

to feed my writer,

so I stopped at

one of those road side stalls.

Ordered 2 tom yam soup,

2 mee goreng, 1 milo

and 1 tea, the total came

up to a whopping RM32!!

Sigh...when quizzed about

the prices, the answer I got

was "Sudah lewat, jadi

harga pun naik...". Speechless...

At around 1am,

the most terrifying thing

that could ever happen to

a me occurred...

a mysterious flying object

(I suspect a fatty Owl)

flew right at my 4X4,

hit the wind screen

with such a loud thud

that my writer screamed

like a little girl (even his

scream remains a mystery)

I was concerned whether

that "fatty Owl" cracked

the wind screen,

but upon closer inspection

my wallet did a cartwheel,

no visible damage.

Arriving at Kota Bahru

we checked into a hotel

and looked at the car again.

My ever faithful and observant writer

pointed out that he could see feathers...

The mystery continues...but for now I must sleep...

Kian's ArtQuest - Malaysian Artists Revealed (Kuantan)

2011-02-28T09:23:00.000-08:00

My journey to Kuantan
was a great challenge on
my Toyota HiLux 4X4.
It was raining and traffic
and road condition was

terrible...street light not

bright enough. I drove

over many pot holes...

just terrible!!

WOW! this mosque is

awesome to view at night.

I'm sure tourist will be amaze by the sight of this beautiful mosque

Arrived in Kuantan around

1am, had some difficulty

locating the hotel

(wanted to stay at the one

which was located beside

the art gallery). Somehow

I'm confused Evergreen Hotel

(in Penang) for
Green Leaf Hotel.

Too bad my writer can't drive

but I should give myself

a pat on the back for getting

both of us safely to our

destination. Hope my snoring

won't cause my writer

to have a sleepless night...

After freshening up, we headed to East Coast Mall,

"The Most Happening Place" - according to it's slogan anyways.

Wanted to go to Starbucks to have lunch, but when asked about

what kind of food they served for lunch, the barista pointed at

the pasteries and I could already see the horror on my writer's face

as he muttered under his breath, "That won't fill me up."

After lunch we headed to the art gallery to conduct the interviews.

An interesting group of people according to my writer and

before we knew it, we were jetting off to our next destination

- Kota Bahru.

Kian's ArtQuest - Malaysian Artists Revealed (Johor)

2011-02-28T09:09:00.000-08:00

We arrived in Johor later
afternoon, en route I called
to confirm accommodation

for our night there and

unfortunately it was fully

booked. After lunch

we went in search

of accommodation

for the night...

took us awhile before

settling at

New York Hotel...

maybe it was fate

that brought us here,

after all my writer

lived in New York

for the past 7 years.

The next day we

headed off to do

the interviews

with the local artist.

Everything was

running smoothly...

Taib Razak (artist)
sketched a pic of me
and hold a "presentation"
ceremony while waiting
for his turn to be interview
http://www.taibrazak.blogspot.com/

and we were

able to finish

in time

before

driving off to Kuantan.

Kian's ArtQuest - Malaysian Artists Revealed (Malacca)

2011-02-28T08:30:00.000-08:00

My journey in search of artists
have brought me to the historical
city of Malacca. My writer was
once again late so I decided to
count the dim sums at the
coffee shop, they are
seriously raking in the cash.

Our journey was plagued

by miscommunication

which resulted

in the writer not

bringing enough

clothing

(or more specifically underwear).

Wonder how he will ration

his clothing for the next few days...

BTW, disposable underwear

and shower cap look alike!

Anyways the first time

we came here, I wanted

to take him to my

favorite laksa stall,

unfortunately it

was not open.

However this time around

he get to eat laksa!

After that, we were off to

do my magazine delivery rounds.

First stop was

Martin Wood's Art Gallery.

Martin and his wife

After that was

Park Soo Bin's Gallery,

had a nice chit chat with Han,

her friend who just recently

retired from KBS broadcasting

industry. After a few

more deliveries it was

time to head to Johor.

Kian's ArtQuest Malaysian Artists Revealed (Klang Artists Society)

2011-02-21T00:32:00.000-08:00

Tsai Chen Yin (Taiwan) & Kally Liew, a couple artist visits me at my art gallery. Chit chatted about pcA4artmalaysia.

This is the first time the writer will be visiting my art gallery, hope he's excited. I'll introduce him to another writer of mine, Jane. Would also like to take this opportunity to thank Jane for the CD for my road trip.

By the time we reached the toll, I realized that I did not bring the allocated money that I had prepared for our Klang trip. However, one cannot go to Klang and not experience the wonders of Bak Kut Teh. My writer said we could eat something else, but then it would be like going to McDonald's and eating chicken rice (which does not exist, but I hope you get my point).

Reaching there, we hit another bump (not a road bump but a Bak Kut Teh bump), the stall that I frequently visit did not open.

Sigh...the agony...

"Look!" shouted my ever observant writer.

It was a Bak Kut Teh stall, right next to the one that was closed. Finally, our luck had changed, the day was not a loss after all

After that we headed to the Klang Artist Society for interviews, they came well prepared which of course made the writer happy. Speaking of the writer, am very happy with his performance, even the Klang artists praised him for his language skills (interviewing in Chinese but writing in English)...should give him a raise.

All in all, a productive day. Stay tuned folks, for the next misadventure of Kian.

Both the writer and I are disgrace to the Chinese community...wonder what it means...
