CHAMBER by Aiman Zamri

 


Aiman Zamri’s Chamber is the first solo exhibition by the artist, presenting a sequence of unsettling and disturbing imageries descended from subconscious thought and pop culture references. Chamber consists of paintings, drawings and mixed media consolidated as his initial appearance on the Malaysian art scene draws upon his interest in surrealism and horror flicks. Departing from more realistic features, Aiman creates a pantheon of disfigured subjects that fragment the element of the subconscious in strange yet explosive, chaotic brushstrokes. Engendering existentialism with the brooding phantasmagoria, Aiman explores automatic painting, expressive and spontaneous measure, yet, refined within a very controlled and calibrated composition. For Aiman, art was a method of opening up areas of feeling rather than merely illustrating an object. Chamber becomes ambiguous horror enacted in a shoddy, claustrophobic room, with bodies partially dismembered. The unpleasantness is necessary to embrace daunting trauma yet alleviate particular fear of the unknown. It is a culmination of the artist’s confrontation with the self while exploring the abyss of human imagination when dealing with the demon within.
