Samsudin Wahab, or Budin, is known for his socio-political parodies of local and international events. In ‘Dono’s Angels Fallen From The Sky’, he appropriates Indonesian Heri Dono’s sculptural caricatures in his comment on the three-week armed conflict called Operation Cast Lead that broke out in the Gaza Strip between the Israelis and Palestinians in 2008-2009. More than a thousand people lost their lives and limbs. The aggressors were shown like a pack of wolves, the winged apocalypse reminiscent of Albrecht Durer’s Four Horsemen. The drama of the creatures flying and abusing innovative technology is to heighten the tension. In 2009, he won the Malaysia Emerging Artists Award and was resident-artist in Rimbun Dahan. He was awarded Khazanah Nasional’s residency in Mumbai, India, in 2010. In 2013, he won the Juror’s Award in the Young Contemporary Artists competition (Bakat Muda Sezaman) and took part in Art Stage Singapore. He won 2nd Prize in the Goethe-Institute’s Salon Meets Art in 2007 and a Consolation Prize in the Tanjung Heritage competition in 2005. Budin obtained his BFA, Majoring in Printmaking, from the Universiti ITM in 2007, and his Fine Art Diploma in 2005. He co-founded the printmaking collective, Cetak Kolektif, and is a member of Sebiji Padi Studio and SO Sound. His solos include Enough (Taksu Gallery, KL, 2008), Not Enough (Galeri Chandan, KL, 2010) and Self-Parody (Rimbun Dahan, 2010).
