CORE contemporary art

Core Design Gallery presents a rare endeavour, exploring into the visual language and affinities of multicultural society of Malaysia.  The Frames of Two Culturespresents to you the arts of two emerging and promising artists, Husin Othman and Ng Kok Leong.

Beckoning from two different cultural backgrounds, both artists showcase varied approaches and techniques to their respective art repertoire.  Conceptually similar, both Husin Othman and Ng Kok Leong holds dear fond memories of their childhood and growing up years, of their favourite hangouts and indulgences of their native hometown of Perak.  Through their nostalgic reflection of the many serene scenes of early Malaysia, the artworks provide an intricate documentary narrative of the progress of Malaysia through the years, duly portraying their love and belief for the nation.

A kampung boy at heart, Husin Othman shares his glimpses into his childhood years, of games and plays that was once revelled in.  Following from his recent success of his latest artwork Random Access Memory that carried myriad of random scenes within a single artwork, the artist now merges layer upon layer of random objects into a delightful contemporary composition of playful mood while whimsically alluding to intrinsic nuances beyond its literal visual.
