Figurative painter Hisyamuddin Abdullah's works often contain narratives about his observations on life and society. The Good, Bad And Ugly narrates a personal memory from the artist. "This artwork was created specifically for the victims of the 2013 Haiyan Typhoon disaster. The concept of this artwork has reminded me of childhood memories with a dog, which occurred at the time. It was where I witnessed some other kids beating a dog that was chained or tied in an area that looked like an orchard. They intended to take the crops there, and I was unable to stop them. The dog's voice seemed to be pleading with me for rescue, and I can still vividly hear it today. In conjunction with being donated as a monument to the victims of Haiyan, a part of the profits from the sale of this artwork were given to street animals," as quoted from the artist. The use of chiaroscuro and delicate tones enhances the overall composition. His realistic rendering of details and expression draws in the viewer. Sometimes, evil prevails because the good does nothing.
