Richard Koh Fine Art is pleased to announce Haffendi Anuar’s (b.1985, Malaysia) Flat Lands where he presents a new body of works at which reference and explore the kain pelikat, a type of colourful tubular transnational garment usually worn by men in parts of Asia. Oriented in relation to his childhood memories of encountering and being physically enveloped by the fabric, his research and exploration into the iconography of the garment encompasses personal family photos, archive images, selfies on Instagram and texts describing the Malaysian landscape. The research materials are used as stimuli in developing textile-based sculptures, paintings, mixed media collages, and works on paper which consider the contemporary context of his home country, identity, and colonial capitalism in the region.

The exhibition was held at 4 Cromwell Place (Gallery 1) from 2 – 7 Nov 2021 and at 1a Tenter Ground from 10 – 27 Nov 2021.
