Whatever the label, the impetus in all works by Sanip Lasman is on landscapes, local landscapes, not as pictorial representations, but more so an emotional bubble in time, space and maybe, history. These sunset compositions reflect the artist's sensitive rendering of light and experimentation with techniques. The shifting dynamics of light, air and wind are masterfully recorded using a palette of warm and cool tones. It is a hallmark of the veteran artist painting for 60 years that at 85, he is still working on his canvas. Sanip was one of the early Malays who graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, in 1961. His is a lifelong devotion to landscape with series such as Sri Mersing, Endau-Rompin, Gunung Ledang and Gelorasa. He was also a past president of the Johor Artists Society and the Johor Historical Society.
