This sculpture embodies important elements of Mad Anuar’s works, creating a stark visual effect combing traditional and local motifs. Mad Anuar’s artistic concept is said to revolve around combining formalism with eastern aesthetics as well as creating forms to reflect his idea of “reaffirming identities within the context of post-modernism”. ‘Belangkas’ means horseshoe crab. Mad Anuar graduated with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from MARA Institute of Technology, Shah Alam in 1977. He is a prominent sculptor who has exhibited widely, both in Malaysia and internationally. His exhibitions include Al Fahn – The Contemporary Art From Islamic Influenced Countries (Germany, 1995), Pameran Rupa Malaysia (London, UK, 1999), Pameran 50 Tahun Merdeka, Muzium Kesenian Islam (Kuala Lumpur, 2007), 24th Asean International Arts exhibition, Balai Seni Lukis Negara (2010) and For The Imaginary Space (selected sculpture & installation from the Pakhruddin & Fatimah Sulaiman Collection), The Edge Galerie, 2014. Mad Anuar works predominantly with woodcarving and steel welding. His bold yet introspective works celebrate traditional aesthetics whilst exploring new entry points, perspectives and visual vocabulary. His solo exhibition entitled Getaran organised by Fergana Art was exhibited at White Box, Publika in 2017.
