Harris Ribut is known for his overly plump women doing household chores or dancing merrily, and in this piece, he depicts a group of ladies dancing gracefully. Though their forms are distinctly voluminous, but there’s nimbleness and grace as these figures do not have elephant feet. It’s as though they indulge deeply in the dance routine following its beat and projecting gentleness in each movements. Harris started being a street artist and started learning painting at the Angkatan Pelukis SeMalaysia (APS) base. He worked as a paste-up artist in a publishing house. He then joined Bahasa Malaysia daily as a graphic artist, then art director, and was even a reporter and a sub-editor. At one time, he had a pondok base at the artist’s colony in Conlay, under the Malaysian Handicraft Centre, Kuala Lumpur. His wife, Fauziah Ismail, also paints, but of exaggeratedly thin women.
