With an aptness for village scenes, night scenes and the likes, the “Pemandangan Series – Pulang” is executed in Maamor’s own mannerism, layered with mysticism, colours and an ethereal quality to it. The tranquility that comes with this work is undeniable, transporting its viewers to simpler times in a rural setting. The artwork depicts a typical village scene, where a lone figure seen walking, returning to his home in the kampong. Jantan’s use of bold brushstrokes and layered textures enhances the visual impact, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth, while the carefully composed composition highlights the importance of dialogue and connection in everyday life.
