Raduan Man's deep interest in the history of aircraft is reflected in this brightly coloured artwork. The artist has always been fascinated by the mechanics of vehicles and has translated that obsession into his artworks. His works are a statement of his dreams, memories, strength and self belief, and he projects an imaginative approach in making art. In The Patrol, bold contrasts of colour and forceful gestural marks give the work a sense of movement and strength. Raduan Man, the self-proclaimed farmer, achieved a double Masters - first, the University of Wolverhampton (Painting), United Kingdom, in 2003, and then the Camberwell School of Art (Printmaking), UK, in 2006. He obtained his BFA at the Universiti ITM in 2000. In his works, he combines painting and woodcut printmaking techniques. He won the Juror's Award in the Tanjung Heritage competition in 2002. His first of seven solos, all at different venues, was Fresh Markings, at NN Gallery, Kuala Lumpur. Others were at Artspace Gallery, KL (I Printed The Blue Frog, 2004), Galeri Tangsi, KL (Growing Desires In The Science Of Art, 2006), Galeri Chandan, KL (Beyond Print, 2009), The Gallery Starhill, KL (Signature, 2011), Galeri Tangsi & Barltalia, KL (Posh Art, 2011) and PurpleHouz Fine Arts, Petaling Jaya (Living Metal). He is now represented by Linda Gallery, Singapore.
