작품 상세

This work is illustrated in the artist’s signature style which mimics the effects of woodcut prints using coarse outlines to produce a sharp effect. Mythical creatures of land and sea move in various directions, suggesting great mystery and create a sense of drama. Shafiq’s work reflects his observations of contemporary society, reinterpreted in a stimulating visual language. The ape is sitting precariously on a fragile floating wooden block, where danger is imminent, with vicious and aggressive sharks poised to attack. It could be a reflection on the political situation in Malaysia, where politicians are fighting for the top post or higher positions. 152 x 122cm
