Mohd Raduan’s pieces have always been quite enigmatic and cryptic, and this piece is no different – a commentary of some sort. Done in his usual murky, shadowy shades, with bright popping colours decorating the canvas. Streaks of red adorn the centre of the vehicle, which could be a direct reference to results of modernity. Strong and purposeful, this piece is full of statements without too many words, as Mohd Raduan makes a statement about the human behaviour and modern urban society and war itself.
