Mohd Noor Mahmud
Artist
Brief info
Mohd Noor speaks of juxtapositions within art, between the raw and refined and harshness and beauty, which correspond directly with his concepts of peripheral cultures, established craft and art, and the evolution process as a whole. He believes any individual piece of art is intrinsically infused with the spirit of it’s creator, as a pictorial representation of the artist’s experiences both spiritual and perceptive
His ability to attach a personal significance within a broader context of society, religion, culture and time lead to the creation of thought provoking art which initially attracts his audience via their stunning visual before quietly slipping in the layers of embedded meaning, leading him to be considered not only a master of contemporary Malaysian art but also a leading commentator on the growing landscape that is twenty first century Malaysia in an increasingly culturally borderless world
