About The Artwork
Urban Kuala Lumpur morphing into the sky dominated my Paintings a fade of rapidly disappearing life, told through muted tones of brown, black, orange and yellow design that are almost abstract, giving glimpses of a vanishing world abd declining art.
Kampung houses and old buildings series, however, I have come into my own style the complex theme – deconstructed houses, intricate architectural detail overlaid on household implements shadowy peoples lucking, chatting, waiting in doorway – convays a sense of impermanence.
Strongly vertical, the houses and buildings are surrounded by elongated doorways, cube and window, giving the impression that houses themselves are changing, that some time soon, they will have given way and become one of the increasingly ubiquitous skyscraper. The shadowy figures, ghost of people, emphasis this decline it isn’t just building that are disappearing, but the way of life.
I mixed together local artifacts and the Malay architecture to give rise to works depicting the Malay heritage. My experiment use of mixed media and the effects of aging that creates. Charm to my works.

Meet The Artist
Anuar records all types of houses, including squatter houses, flats, shophouses, terrace houses, bungalows, apartments, and condominiums, combined into a single painting based on the concept of repetition. The bright and bold colour combinations in Anuar’s painting are used to express the joy and vibrancy of urban communities through the unique and diverse forms of houses and buildings.
Anuar paints from both top and bottom viewpoints, while also using overlapping techniques and precise straight lines in his visual compositions. “My painting needs to be balanced with dark and light colours to show perspective and dimension.” The artwork is composed using a mix of Malay style, Cubism, and pop art.
