In 2005, Ahmad Fuad Osman spent a whole year in South Korea at Goyang Studio in Gyeonggi-do. He did not return to Malaysia a K-pop star (although his long hair does give him a rock star vibe), but the works this artist created at his year-long residency were inevitably informed by the wave of “contemporary” living and borrowed Western culture sweeping across the country.
In Fatamorgana #1: Dream On, which is one of the works featured in group exhibition Crossings: Pushing Boundaries exhibition at Galeri Petronas, Fuad ponders his observations and experiences, condensing them in an image of a woman who looks all set for big city shopping in her striped leggings and high heels, juxtaposed against dancers in traditional wear around her.
