작품 상세

Amron Omar continues to explore the Pertarungan series in various media such as oil, pastels and charcoal. Silat, to him, is a self-therapy through the motions of pugilism and a symbol of struggle. It is about discipline and journey. The traditional martial art offers hundreds of different styles that tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, throws, bladed weaponry, or some combination thereof. Amron Omar attended Institut Teknologi MARA (ITM) from 1976 to 1980. He was awarded the Young Contemporary Artists Minor Award (for Self Portrait) in 1982 and received the Silver Award at the Sime Darby Art Asia Exhibition, Kuala Lumpur in 1985. In 2012, Amron presented a major solo exhibition entitled Pertarungan that showcased over 150 artworks at National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur.
