gallery in Kuala Lumpur, shows how he embraces art as a means of overcoming that difficult episode in his life.In these new works, Syahnan deployed tiny FRU personnel in parts of his home, notably in his bathroom.
“This series might look irreverent and maybe cute ... but it is also how art has given me the strength to deal with my fears. There were days when I didn’t want to come out of the house during that period. To me, it felt like the authorities were following me, they were in the house, they were behind the door,” says Syahnan, who has also created art inspired by the public rallies and street assemblies in Kuala Lumpur through the years.
Ironically enough, it was the artist’s older brother, an FRU policeman who is based in Kuching, who restored much of the young man’s confidence, giving him the motivation to move on from the Rumah Api incident. “I had some really meaningful conversations with my policeman brother. He knows I’m not out looking for trouble. And he doesn’t talk down to me. Instead, he understands my art and is very supportive.series, which I think is rather cool. Both of us see the ‘art’ side of things,” says Syahnan, who moved from his hometown Machang in Kelantan to Kuala Lumpur in 2009.exhibition, which features his silkscreen print works and his first painting, is strongly tied to his roots in Muka Bukit, Machang.
