작품 상세

In this piece a green origami boat is set in the center amongst colourful organic shapes as if it is blended but visible to see. A closer look to this painting you can see varieties of insects are drawn intricately in its individual blocks as a background. However it is covered with splashes of colour. The subject of this piece is rather interesting as it appeared to be different from the artist's usual style. Ahmad Shukri Mohamed striked a high profile among members of the art collective Matahati.
