Zainal Abidin Musa (b. 1960) Pangkor Laut, 2018
Est: RM15,000 - RM25,000
Pangkor Laut is one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia. Composed of intricate brushstrokes in varying shades and colour, the impressions of the crystal-clear emerald waters and nature are deftly captured. The artist highlights the forefront of the composition with expressive intertwining branches, and dappled light radiating through the trees and sand, creating a serene atmosphere. The details of the work show the artist's impeccable skill. "In this painting of Emerald Bay in Pangkor Laut Island, I wanted to convey the contrasting feelings of this particular moment. I could feel the scorching heat of the midday sun but also the coolness of the shade. I tried to capture the feeling and details of the moment - the glittering lights from between the leaves, the dancing shadows on the ground, and in the back, the blinding light of day." as quoted from the artist. With a deep interest in art, Zainal Abidin Musa enrolled at Institut Teknologi Mara to pursue a degree in Fine Art.

Zainal Abidin Musa (b. 1960) Sungai Loh, Ulu Dungun, 2013
Est: RM25,000 - RM30,000
This painting, one of Zainal Abidin Musa's finest riverscapes of Sungai Loh, Ulu Dungun, Terengganu includes an area of water animated by reflections of the sky and forest. Zainal Abidin Musa excels in portraying landscapes and this work uses depth of perspective to convey a sense of tranquillity. "My love for nature led me to explore the islands, jungles and rivers in Malaysia. During one of my travels, deep into the jungles of Ulu Dungun, Terengganu, I came upon this beautiful and peaceful river, Sungai Loh. I was fascinated by how the river became a canvas for the sky, reflecting back the clouds and the blue, green and purple hues of the surroundings on this clear body of water. It became an illusion that tricked the mind into wondering whether you were looking at the sky or the river, and I wanted to capture that on my own canvas," as quoted from the artist.
