작품 상세

Although Amron Omar has done hundreds of Pertarungan, silat manouevres with various gestures, in various poses and media, this one is unusual for the broken-form musculature and the whirly-movement effect. The pugilist at the back with faint resemblance to the artist is poised in a stable position for a strike-back, as can be seen by the digitized clenched fingers, while the one back to viewer is locked in an aggressive stance with his right hand homing in on the target. Amron Omar won the Minor Award at the Young Contemporary Artists competition with his Self-Portrait in 1982, and the Silver Award in the Sime Darby Art Asia exhibition in 1985. After graduating from the Mara Institute of Technology.in 1982, he worked briefly for the Kobena Ad Company before going fulltime in April 1983, and became busy with portrait commissions for royalty, corporate heads and politicians of the day. In 2012, he had a major exhibition, Pertarungan, at the National Art Gallery Malaysia. 90 x 74cm
