The advent of automaton in the padi-fields has made the water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) obsolete. Suddenly, these heroic creatures pulling the ploughs and turning the soil to prepare for the planting of wet rice fields are no longer needed. Though water buffaloes are being reared for their meat (though tougher) and milk, the numbers are dwindling. In some countries, they have been trained for fighting locking their crescentic horns against each other, or racing pulling a chariot with a ‘mahout’ in it, like the celluloid chariot race in Ben Hur. But there’s a Buffalo Park in Padang Matsirat in Langkawi, where one can taste the famous mozzarella cheese freshly made from buffalo milk. Using Pop Art aesthetics, Najib Ahmad Bamadhaj looks at the possible extinction of these animals. Najib graduated with a BFA (Hons), majoring in Painting, from the Universiti ITM in 2010. He secured his Diploma from the Lendu, Malacca, campus in 2008. His awards include the Malacca TYT Action Portrait (2007), finalist in the MRCB Art Award (2008), 2nd Prize in Johor Open (2009), 1st Prize in both the Tanjung Heritage and Nandos competitions (2010) and Visual Arts Award (National Art Gallery, 2011). His solos entitled ‘Great Migration’ and ‘Survival’ were held in Taksu Galleries in Kuala Lumpur (2012) and Singapore (2015) respectively. Najib had also taken part in Art Stage Singapore (2016, 2017), Art Kaohsiung (2015, 2016), Art Expo Malaysia (2013-2017) and the Gwangju Biennale (2016).
