HYPOTHESIS

Malay Couple is a particularly rich collage from the artists Malaysian Series, begun in the early 1980s, in which he appropriated images from old photographs of figures and families of the different races, expressing ideas about community, history and memory

Malay Couple, 1988, Mixed media collage, 60 x 50 cm

Untitled (Harvesting), 1961, Oil on canvas, 89 x 120 cm

In 1960, the artist travelled to north Borneo, in search of new subject matter. Harvesting is an exceptional painting which grew out of his visit to Dayak longhouses and their culture. Applying a typically Fauvist approach, he picks out the rich dyes and textures of cloth and basketry, and the bright grains of the harvest. against the dark earthy tones of the figures and background.

Sarawak Wedding, 1964, Oil on board, 60 x 83.5 cm

Graduating from Nanyang Academy of Fine Art in 1959, Khoo Sui Hoes (b. 1939) unique stylisation of the Asian figure has become almost iconic in the history of modern Malaysian figuration. His best paintings create a state of inner peace, joy freedom and humour. The human being is depicted in serene harmony with the elements: water, air, earth and its vegetation. The artists unique brand of gentle surrealism expresses a Southeast Asian ideal without losing its universal appeal.

Yong Mun Sen (b.1896 - 1962) has sometimes been referred to as the father of Malaysian art, being one of the very earliest practising artists in the country. Born in Sarawak, he eventually settled in Penang, where he set up his first studio in 1922.

Theory of Appreciation
This approach classifies image observation into
four stages: First, the description stage Second, the formal analysis stage Third, the interpretation stage Fourth, the hypothesis stage
Edmund B.Feldman, Varieties of Visual Experience

Description
The Description Stage: In this stage, we try to
identify the basic images depicted by the artist, that is: a middle-aged woman, three young women and two
young men.

Formal analysis

Formal Analysis Stage: This stage limits the observation to the

formal elements found on the surface, such as colour, space, shape, form, lines and texture.

How far these elements interact to produce

effects of motion, balance, contrast, harmony and focus. Including the design structure.

Interpretation
This stage requires in-depth exploration. We the
images portrayed as symbols to enable us to analyse in more detail.
We begin by asking questions as a simple guide in our search for
answers

who is the middle-aged woman?, what is her character like? what is her character like?,

how is the character/style presented by the youths?.

These questions must be answered to obtain a rational

analysis.

Hypothesis
This stage enables us to make assumptions
based on the answers to the questions posed. The assumptions are,
the artist is trying to make a social criticism on the
youths of today. The artist made a comparison between Bosnia where there is an ethnic war happening in their fight to defend religious values, and Kuala Lumpur where the Bohsia phenomenon is difficult to combat.
