Mat Ali Mat Som Art

Malaysian, b. 1975
Kuala Lumpur by birth, Mat Ali Mat Som, was born in 1975. He studied Fine Art, University Institute Technology Mara (UiTM) in 1997. It is, for want of a better term, a family affair, a passion Mat Ali shares with his wife and three children. Now primarily based in Tanjung Malim, Perak, Mat Ali is inspired by his silat gayung education seriously. His awards encompass prevailing Third prize in the KL Sentral Sculpture Contest (1997) and Honourable Mention at the Phillip Morris Malaysia Arts Awards, Kuala Lumpur (1999). He participated in “Young and New” at House of Matahati in 2009 and had his first solo exhibition “Dendam Tak Sudah” at Metro Fine Art Gallery. In 2013, he had “Unsung Heroes” at Museum of Asian Art, University Malaya. He additionally held a debut of paintings “Kuda-Kuda Merdeka” at Art Row, Publika in 2018. The style of Mat Ali’s artworks are semi-abstract with paint overlapping many layers of textured coatings. Each layer was dried completely before the next layer to be painted in order to reap the effect. There is an explosion of red, blue, white, gold, black and yellow. Everything seems to be in disarray. However, at a closer look, the character of a horse starts off to emerge to the foreground. And once that focal point has been established, the curvatures dominate the painting. Viewers can see clearly what they really are – Silat stances. Mitochondria sequence is stimulated through the biologic term “Mitochondria”, as “the powerhouse of the cell” that produces cellular electricity for the cell growth. Mitochondria exists in the human body, as well as generates energy sources for plant life and animals. Mitochondria sculptures visualise the term of electricity and seriously change it into the photograph of warrior. A warrior is continually steady, neither defensive nor aggressive; therefore, to continue to be clamant alarm to defend their life, family, properties, as well as desires. Once a warrior is defeated, a lifestyles additionally reaches the end. For the Silat Series, Mat Ali Mat Som gets inspired by the main subject matter - the Kuda. It is derived from the Malay word called Horse. The horses represent resilience and stability. Horses are beasts of majesty and power. Even during times of war and strife, these animals represent stability and sure-footedness. Perhaps, that is the reason the term kuda-kuda is used in the ancient martial art. Mat Ali painting is a synonym as a silat movements, which explains the steps of “kuda- kuda”. Silat movement is also one of the traditional performances in Malay Culture. It is a posture of a warrior in perfect balance. To obtain victory, a warrior has to remain standing in battle. There are many forms in silat. But before one could make any form, one needs a solid foundation grounded just like martial art. Mat Ali also added the elements of patriotism in his paintings.

Springtime Resurrection
By Ronnie Landfield
Located in Austin, TX
Waterline Fine Art, Austin, TX is pleased to present the following work: Acrylic on canvas. Signed, titled, and dated on verso. 86 x 74 in. 87.25 x 75.25 in. (framed) Please note: This work was re-framed AFTER photography was completed. The frame seen in the photos was original, and has since been replaced with a solid maple floater, finished in a polyurethane clear coat (see other listings for an example of this frame). Provenance Steve Chase Design, Palm Springs, CA Ronnie Landfield was born in the Bronx, NY on January 9, 1947 - the same day as his older brother. As a teenager, he was encouraged to pursue a career as an artist, subsequently creating his first real paintings around the age of 14. He was particularly influenced by a Life magazine article from 1961 on the Abstract Expressionists, most notably: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline. After stints at the Art Students League, the Kansas City Art Institute, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the University of California at Berkeley, Landfield’s professional career as a painter began in New York in 1965. The following year, after completing a major series of hard-edge border paintings, success as a painter began to materialize. The famous architect and collector Philip Johnson and the collector Robert Scull each acquired large paintings works, as did the Sheldon Memorial Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1967, Landfield was invited to participate in the Whitney Annual at the end of the year. His work attracted considerable attention, and he was invited to participate in important group exhibitions at the Bykert, Bianchini, and Park Place Galleries in New York. Landfield joined the David Whitney...
