As a child, Ahmad Tarmizi, better known as T:zi, would often raise his hands to reach out into the sky and attempted to "scratch" it. Cakar Langit could be interpreted as an inner state of mind, to touch and reach into the skies, poised to streak across the sky towards something bright and marvellous. In Cakar Langit 030619, the rhythmic movement of clouds and contrast of light brings out the layers of textures on the canvas.
Singer songwriter Ahmad Tarmizi produced albums and had written songs for more than a decade. A self-taught painter, he has always seen his paintings and songwriting as a vehicle for expressing his thoughts, resulting in works that offer multiple readings and interpretation. Influenced by his own reflections on spirituality, his captivating works narrate our relationship with man and nature.
