Artwork Description
In this finely detailed collage, the artist chooses a simple and often overlooked element of any façade, its grilles. Demonstrating skilled pencil technique, the artist effectively lends an air of dynamism to the static subject. Wrought iron grilles have been a quintessential aspect which encapsulates the colonial era buildings in Malaysia since the 19th century. A famous example is the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad Building in Kuala Lumpur. Here, the varying grille designs embody the medley of cultures that call Malaysia home.
