Spiral reveals Noor Mahnun's deep appreciation of geometric forms, showcasing an exquisite arrangement of patterns composed in a tile-like manner. Rendered in an elegant palette of monochrome shades, the composition draws the viewer into its refined symmetry and balanced design. The intricate details throughout the work reflect the artist's patience and focus in highlighting the beauty of small creatures, such as the snail and the calm rhythm of geometric patterns. Noor Mahnun Mohamed also known as Anum participated in a yearlong Malaysia-Australia Visual Arts Residency in 2000 and produced works which were then exhibited at Rimbun Dahan the following year. Besides making art, she held the position of Visual Arts Residency Manager at Rimbun Dahan for a few years. The artist returned to Malaysia at the end of 1997 having spent seven years studying for her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Fine Arts at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Braunschweig, Germany (1989-1996), and exhibiting broadly in Europe. She was also awarded the Italian Government Scholarship to study printmaking at the International School of Print and Graphic Il Bisonte, Florence in 2003. The artist's solo exhibition titled Disco Lombok Still Life was held at The Edge Galerie in 2017. Her works transcend the conventions of still life, figurative and landscape painting, inspired by the Old Masters of the European tradition. Her first solo presentation in Singapore is held at Yeo Workshop from May to August 2025.
