(Title: Sarkah - The White Birds, Medium: Acrylic on perspex & canvas, Dimension: 1 x 1 m, Price: £7000, Courtesy of Jeanne Hornshaw)

'The paints and drawings are sumptuous, evocative of other worlds, barely glimpsed realities, shadow realms’

Sarkah: Live Art-The Cave in triptych

Aris A Yaacob is Radical Malay Anglophile Artist.
His ideology on art is about documenting the process of live art via painting and drawing. Paradoxically, he radicalises the Malay art of Wayang Kulit. He uses Perspex and plastic to recreate the puppets and obsessively deals with the subject matter about GODS.
