M Shafarin Ghani’s work from his Seascapes: Oeuvre of Movement Series plays on a musical orchestration of sea waves in colours and the visuals are somewhat reminiscent of the works of Abdul Mutalib Zakaria although in a different context. The musical link is obvious as he has a passion for classical music and plays the violin. Shafarin had two exhibitions from the series at Core Design gallery in Selangor in 2010 and 2012.
His works have been described as “an undulating harmonious sounds singing in the mind and vivid colours flowing in the eyes.” Shafarin had his first solo when he was just 17 at the Zhong Hwa Art House in Penang in 1998, and had another solo called Man and his God. He was already in the Henry Butcher auction radar when he was featured in its Young Contempo Auction in 2012.
