A few years ago, Erizal became intrigued by the role of the musical conductor in an orchestra, drawn to the innate charisma and overt influence of the maestro’s presence. From this, he developed a fascination with the appearance of a ‘leader’ – and the frequently revealed disparity between their proclaimed and demonstrated personas.

For Erizal, everything happens directly and unexpectedly on the canvas and he has no visual expectation of the final result. Unlike many other painters, Erizal never feels the need to sketch before he paints, relying instead on a process involving improvisation, impulse and a sensitivity to heightened energetic states.

Gajah Gallery is pleased to present nine new paintings by Erizal As in his first solo exhibition in Singapore. This exhibition creates a highly-charged, distorted, yet introspective view of the contemporary figure.
