Portrait of Nature is a series of paintings done by my students from Workbase3 which most of the time they call it Architorture Workbase. Workbase refers to our architectural studio, i.e our work station. It is a one day painting project as part of their final project on An Artist Beach Retreat House and to get the soul of an artist. Zakii Anwar, a Malaysian professional artist, again being selected as our client for our hypothetical project for this semester. Our site is at Pandak Beach on a hillside in Terengganu facing the South China Sea. Allow me to quote what Edward Hopper said about abstract painting.One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life’ as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.

ReplyDeletemaafkan hamba dan orang orang hamba kerana terpaksa membatalkan pemergian kami ke negeri penyu atas sebab sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan. Kini projek pembinaan istana di puncak bukit pandak telah diselesaikan oleh orang-orang hamba. tapi kali ini hamba tidak begitu gumbira dengan projek yang telah dijalankan. alhamdulillah puteri hamba telah dinobatkan sebagai jurubina diraja dan telah diadakan upacara gilang gemilang di balairong seri iskandar pada hari penghujung bulan purnama. hamba mohon doa restu jua dari tuan hamba. hamba mohon berhenti dulu di sini kerana pena hamba kehabisan tinta. semoga bertemu kembali.....
salam tuan
