Parallel Poem is
an art exhibition consisting of two young talents which is Amy Nazira &
Safar Zin. The exhibition is a mixture of visual & literal art where the
artists are using Malay poetry or pantun as
their theme and showing their understanding of it by expressing them in visual
form.'
Working out
together, Amy Nazira and Safar Zin know that the key is to celebrate individual
apprehension of looking at things. Both artists have their own interpretation
and have different contemplation on the subject that they chose. But the main
thing for sure is to uphold and affirm the beauty of our local language in the
poetry perhaps for the viewer to be more critical in looking at things.
Not to linearly seeking for an answer but both
the art and the poetry leave different marks in their own blank page, one for
the eye, and one for the ear. These forms of expressions should interact with
one another, but not merely restate the same message. Their interaction should
be more subtle than that, with the painting not directly representing a visual
iteration of the subject in the poem but more towards different manifestation
of image.
