MINDMIX - Solo Exhibition by Haslin Ismail

G13 Gallery is proud to present the local emerging talent Haslin Ismail with the latest edition of art exhibition entitled MINDMIX. Haslin Ismail, a Fine Art Bachelor’s degree graduate from Universiti Teknologi MARA, and widely considered to be one of the most interesting among the new generation artists, will be presenting a new series of his latest works in MINDMIX, displaying sixteen pieces of drawings and collages on both canvas and paper, this exhibition again highlights the intensity of Haslin’s visual perception and the dynamics of his highly complicated image making.

This body of work applies meticulous rendering and dense arrangement of a plethora of personal images, symbolisms and references as well as other meaning-loaded elements, which has become the signature style of Haslin’s artistic practice. These drawings and collages are largely laden with private signifiers and hectic images, and done in a multi-layer and multi-perspective approach, rendering his art chaotic with regard to its composition and presentation, yet at the same time, highly suggestive as to its intended meanings and messages.

“This new series of drawings reflects my personal feelings about critical issues pertaining to our current life. They include disturbing situations, such as the everlasting wars, the bombardment of technologies without boundaries, and the presence of greedy and power-hungry leaders who are exemplary of mankind’s utmost dark sides,” quipped Haslin.

Even though this series of new works vividly embodies the frenzied and surrealistic mix of the artist’s creative mind, it also reveals his critical introspective thoughts concerning the increasingly haphazard situations that are eroding our humanity and, eventually, capable of destroying our world. They are evocative of Haslin’s true feelings and psyche in confronting the life’s mystery and beauty, as well as its unpredictability and vulnerability. And the miniscule characters that the artist sophisticatedly inserts amidst the labyrinthine compositions probably serve as symbols of our hope and prayer.
