Well known for his skill in figuration, Husin excels in depicting the natural and fluid gestures of the body. Rendered in a muted palette of colours, Husin captures the snapshots of simple, everyday life. Here is a scene at a tea stall where one could take a rest and pause to reflect on the moments of the day. Sometimes, it's good to slow down in this fast-paced society.
