(Painting from Latif Maulan First solo exhibition artwork in 2006 entitled 'Parallel Universe' )

: (just found in my studio) The bleak and treeless urban landscape is a metaphor for the dehumanised nature of modern cities. Even when human appear in my paintings, any form of social interaction is missing. In ULAM MENCARI SAMBAL, while the women looks longingly at the man, he is oblivious of her and has his back towards her.There is no joy apparent on the faces of his pratoganists; pain, anguish, suspicion and a sense of foreboding is the order of the day. It is the alienation which the city breeds that is mirrored on their visages.
