작품 상세

The voyage series, contrary to what it indicates, was created in Latiff Mohidin’s studio. When he wasn’t travelling, the artist continued to explore the world through his imagination. The essence of Voyage is the recurrent element of a stylised boat whose origin can be traced to one of the earliest drawings of the Pago Pago series, entitled, Solitude, Bangkok, 1964. Nearly 40 years later, Latiff embarks on a study of the boat as the main element of the composition, developing the first shapes in a preliminary sketch executed in 2003. The boat has become a symbol of the artist’s imaginary travels. Gestural like from the Gelombang Series, it reveals more ruminative impinges and with more glacial strokes.
