Jai is probably the first Malaysian artist to experiment with bitumen in his artworks, having studied the medium during his time in New York. Being a more affordable medium compared to acrylic and oil, the experiment led him to being a master of the medium today. It worked magically as seen in this exemplary creation and has proven to stand the test of time.
