Tarian Melayu presents traditional customs and culture of the Malay people. This elegant work depicts a trio of women dressed in traditional attire, dancing gracefully in rhythm. Composed with soothing purple and orange hues, the dancers unite and express their ideas though music, while forming beautiful movements together. Harris Ribut started as a street artist and started learning painting at the AngkatanPelukis SeMalaysia (APS) base. He worked as a paste-up artist in a publishing house. He then joined a 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 also paints, but of exaggeratedly thin women.
