작품 상세

One of Malaysia’s prominent artists, Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal’s magnificent ‘Picnic at Sonning, 2006’ is a beautiful piece of work, a product of modernity and technique, exhibitingvibrant colours and a subtle grace to command viewers’ attention. This well executed masterpiece is a depiction of the late artist’s early days in the United Kingdom. Syed Ahmad Jamal used to play cricket in the summer with his lecturers at Sonning Park. On such outing, his lecturer bowled a ball that spun, bounced off the ground and hit him right in his knee which later gave him a bad bruise. The artist masterfully translated that memory onto canvas.
