Finally have time to blog about the event! The overall experience is good, but a bit disappointed by the blocking of the path. The police denied the public entry into Dataran Merdeka area due to fear of protest!
I am glad and happy that I finally done my first "joint exhibition"! Yes! Joint exhibition means there are other artists in the same event! Although I only have the triptych for show, it was a fun experience! I am so so so so so happy to see people laugh, smile, shocked and disgusted by my paintings! Yes, the details on the porcelain pots are the key to all the emotion and laughter.
I have made some copies of this booklet to be given for free during the event. To share the ideas is my main objective of the show. I didn't really "sold" the triptych, it should be "given" to a private collector. An art work is like a child for the author, and I am happy that my "child" now is on the hand of a good owner. May be later when there's another art event in KL, I will be able to bring them out again for show!
The things I grabbed 2 pottery work of Caeman Loo. They look gorgeous! Very rustic and handmade feel! Unique in a way that it is different from the machine made items which we saw every day in the market. Yet, it is not a rough job. I bought the lamb just because it is cute.
Siri Beg Kertas: Doodle dan Puisi
The other thing I grab is the zines from Doodle Malaysia's booth. The reason I love this zine is just because of the cover art! I have to admit that I'm lack of the Malay language skill to fully appreciates the poems in the zine, but for sure I'm able to appreciate the great art piece on the cover by Rizal. All the monsters burst from his head... Monsters are with different expressions, depicting different emotions and imaginations, and they were pictured in such a cute and cuddly way. The overall illustrates that the author was so nervous, no longer able to hold the monster from bursting our of his head. It is beautiful!
Other interesting activities in the event, would be the on the spot doodling. It is fun to see talented people gather around and express their artistic ability!
Although I personally thinks that there are room for improvement. I surely join the next Art for Grabs! Wish to see more artists in the future.
