&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medium:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; Oil, acrylic, sand, modeling paste, Time Out London magazine clippings on canvas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;board&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;As an artist, I often work in layers and would start by developing a ground. When I&#39;m making paintings on board, I would layer newsprint, paper and clippings, creating a black and white ground for painting or collage, as can be seen in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Bodybuilders Duet Under Moonlight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;. This diptych - an explicitly figurative work&amp;nbsp; - echoes the notion of same-sex coupling, a pair of very healthly men performing a song together outside in the night. Two muscular bulging torsos face each other, though each of their figures is cropped and condensed within the edges of the canvas, creating a sense of claustrophobia and restriction. The thickly applied contours are created using plastic squeeze sauce bottles. The paint application process reminisces one of my childhood fast-food favourites &amp;ndash; the Ramly burger, an ubiquitous street-food in Malaysia. Dripping layers of toppings and sauces such as mayonnaise and chili sauce are heavily applied onto halal meat patties using such containers. Notions of indulgent desires and an obsession of one&amp;rsquo;s body are explored in these works whilst also hinting at my own regimented workouts at the gym.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;Haffendi Anuar&amp;rsquo;s current work looks at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;kain pelikat&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a type of colourful plaid tubular transnational &amp;lsquo;male-skirt&amp;rsquo; usually worn domestically and sometimes as an informal labour uniform in parts of the global south&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;. Oriented in relation to his childhood memories of encountering and being enveloped by the fabric, his research and exploration into the iconography of the garment encompasses personal family photos, archival photographs, images from social media and the Internet as well as texts on Malaysia written by colonial writers and looks into the fabric&amp;rsquo;s origin, social utilization, visual patterns and formal structure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;en-US&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;From the materials gathered, he would reimagine the fabric as &amp;lsquo;constructions&amp;rsquo; inspired by the structures of hammocks, hanging cradles, nets, curtains/veils and webs, drawing inspiration from man-made and animal-made architecture. He works in a process that combines collage, dyeing, painting, image transfer and sewing and incorporates physical materials such as seashells, pebbles, gutter pipes, brass pipes, rice sacks and chicken feathers into his sculptures, embellishing as well as animating the forms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
