Sabri Idrus, "Masa 2", 2009, Digital Print, 76 x 76 cm

Sabri Idrus aims to unfold his critical notion towards the social condition and the parody against institutions that secures the definition between painting and crafting painting. Though the content of the work does not immediately communicate this message, the works show his dexterity in composition and his fascination with lines, colours and visual texture. He creates images of subtle colours and shapes which are hypnotic and spatially illusive.

Nasir Baharuddin is a practising artist and educator. His Art and Tecture(s) series of work are luminous architectural photographs, which capture a myriad of geometric patterns. He focused the camera on architectural structure; columns and beams that when enlarged create images that are simultaneously abstract and representational. The pictures in Art and Tecture(s) series also exploit the play of natural light across the objects to produce haunting results.

Hafiz Amirrol has a slightly different background. He is an architect who is interested in design and explored this interest in his works. Both this series and his architectural focus are humanitarian. In this Measuring Series, he attempts to capture historical, political and architectural themes which raise issues of building for economically challenged areas. Hafiz uses subtle and transparent layerings of photographs, planometrics, sectional and 3D drawings, to create a digital montage to bring out issues of poverty and suffering.
