Kepingin: Suddin Lappo First Solo Exhibition
22 Jul – 2 Aug 2009

Pace Gallery
64 Jalan Kemajuan
Petaling Jaya

This is Suddin Lappo’s much anticipated first solo. The whole body of work is centered on the traditional use of the human figure as the subject matter. His use of paint is loosely applied washes of thinly layered light greys, greens, oranges and ambers covering large areas that overlap, dripping over other layers of paint that sit on the canvas flatly. The solo figure in each work, whether partially exposed, from the side of the canvas or as a full figure sitting in the middle of the painting are built up with bold fast strokes or flesh colour of no more than three tones and sit comfortably against the coats of pastel coloured landscapes of paint that drip spontaneously over the figure fusing the painting together, background and foreground entwined. – Yusof Majid
