A critical moment in silat combat when the exponent in front looks set to strike a blow at the scrotal area of his opponent, who swerves back, poised on one leg and obviously vulnerable still. Amron Omar’s repertoire of silat manouevres in his Pertarungan series is one of the most avidly followed in Malaysian art. Wrote artist-academician-critic Redza Piyadasa: “His realistic, representational renderings of his chosen themes have been enhanced by his accomplished handling of human anatomy.” This piece is without doubt one of the more colourful of Amron’s depictions, often in monochromes. 75 x 60cm
