Dato’ Tajuddin’s distinctive style has lured many art enthusiasts into his realm of innovative and complex artistry. To Tajuddin, art is about making a visual connection with the eyes of its beholder. Abstract art is never constant in their message, meaning different things for different individuals. As in this simple piece comprising basic lines and shape tinted in gallant, outstanding colours of greens, Tajuddin Ismail successfully captures the eyes and mind of the viewer. This piece may seem simple, but it has that ability to beckon the viewer to dissect the true meaning behind it. This is a piece that requires the audience to take a longer look, to reflect on this artwork.
