Fishermen Series pays homage to Kelantan’s rich cultural heritage and traditions of local fisheries. The scene illustrates semi abstract contours of figures placed against a field of white colour, allowing the viewer to fully observe the crisp and elegant arrangement of overlapping bodies in magnificent hues. The composition is devised according to classical elements of lines, shapes, tones, space and depth, imbued with a sense of harmony and stability. A blue strip punctuates the composition on the top, which defines spatial boundaries and draws the viewer into an immersive experience.
