| description | This study will highlight the elements of Islamic values and Malay traditions in the
artworks of 20th and 21st-century Malaysian artists, namely Mastura Abdul
Rahman, Haron Mokhtar, and Ruzaika Omar Basaree by discussing the elements
of Malay values and Islamic traditions in respect of their artworks. The analyses
focused on the artworks from 1980 to 2014, specifically Haron Mokhtar’s “Zahir
Mosque”, Ruzaika Omar Basaree’s “Siri Dungun” and Mastura Abdul Rahman’s
“House of Harmony” and “Interior No. 29”. These artists’ works were delivered
according to the manifestation of the National Cultural Policy 1971, which
highlighted the Islamic and local identity as the main idea and theme of the
artworks of local artists. This study has used qualitative methods, which are
interviews and observations of each work in the artists’ catalogue as a process of
collecting primary data. Meanwhile, secondary data were gathered through
referencing academic works like books, journals, and magazines on Islamic values
and Malay traditions in visual arts paintings. The analyses found that these works
used Islamic art elements, like the “Thuluth” khat in “Zahir Mosque”, as well as
the combination of colour and flora motifs on “Siri Dungun”. At the same time,
they feature cultural elements, such as “congkak” and “Labu sayong” and
traditional Malay ornamental design, which represent the Malay culture and
philosophies. |
