Visiting National Visual Art Gallery



Asma Al-Husna Api, Air dan Angin Seq. 3
Anuar Rashid's 'Asma Al-Husna Fire, Water and Wind Seq 3' (2010) is one of the works in the solo exhibition 'Mihraj-Flights To Heaven I'm Only A Carpenter' held at National Visual Art Gallery by 2015 and is curated by Ameruddin Ahmad. This work can be regarded as a continuation of the work of 'Fire, Water and Wind' produced around the 1970s before the 'Birth of Inderaputra' again. Asma Husna refers to the names and attributes of Allah. In this work we can see the names of God on wavy waves, the light from the sky with glazing techniques reminds us of the work of the 'Birth of Inderputra'. This work uses calligraphy as the main subject of Water (waves), Fire (light from the sky) and Wind (wave blowing).

This work can be regarded as an expression of the sea landscape works because the painter divides it into two parts between heaven and earth (sea). In the middle corner like a light commonly seen in ancient Anuar's works, the beginning of Asma Al-Husna begins with the word 'Allah', followed by 'Ar-Rahman', 'Ar-Rahim' and so on. This movement goes downward where these names are formed through the strains of layered and turbulent tides.
