It is a never-ending story of carnage in human history from the days of Attila the Hun to the Pol Pot genocide. Man is driven by power, greed and lust and tries to cover up his evil deeds, killing even in the name of democracy. The victims are often innocent women and children. With the prevalence of fake news today, Truth has become more elusive, what with technology aiding falsification, manipulation and concealment of facts and ‘real’ images. Here, a heap of broken forms, some positively human, lie deeply buried until uncovered. It incenses Masnoor Ramli Mahmud, a founding member of the Matahati collective known for cultural-socio-political commentary. This was shown in Matahati’s group show called Stories at House of Pelita Hati, Kuala Lumpur. Masnoor Ramli has produced works from the strangest of circumstances including a two-week expedition from North America to Europe on a single-engine Pilatus PC-12 in 2012, and a 55-day Petronas Nusantara 4x4 expedition spanning Borneo and Indonesia including Flores in 2006 (Bumi Malaysia: Journey Through Nusantara at Galeri Petronas, 2007; and Revisited at the Penang State Art Gallery in 2009). He is a founding member in 1989 of the Matahati collective from the ITM Class of ’91. He took part in Art Expo Malaysia 2014. He was assistant scenic painter for the Hollywood movie, Anna And The King, and won Honorable Mention in the Malaysian component of the Asean Art Award in 1994 and 1995.
