1 Jan – 31 Jan EXHIBITION: HAFFENDI ANUAR – RINTANGAN (RESISTANCE)

-

Richard Koh Fine Art presents a solo exhibition by Haffendi Anuar, highlighti­ng the artist’s Rintangan (Resistance) series. A collection of muscular bodybuilde­r torsos in vibrant hues, the unusual series was created during Haffendi’s first lockdown in the United Kingdom, where the artist is currently based. At the start of the pandemic, Haffendi often thought about the concept of physical, mental and emotional health, alongside the economic health of countries and states. “This obsession with strength in a time when things seem out of control was probably a way for me to cope with things in a challengin­g period of my life,” the artist explains. His evocative works capture a universal desire to feel in command in a season of uncertaint­y and unpredicta­bility,

“the act of sculpting one’s body also suggests a form of control over one’s own physical dimensions.”
