Cracks in the earth inspire artist to create beautiful abstract paintings

When artist Hamidi Hadi recently relocated his art studio in Seri Iskandar, Perak, he moved nearby to a breezy area, beside some rolling hills. There is a large pool of water there, which had recently dried up. This resulted in a lot of cracks and fissures in the land nearby.

Some people would have been unhappy about this, thinking these unsightly cracks would spoil the beauty of the landscape. Not so, however, for Hamidi, who was inspired by them to create several art pieces in his current exhibition Dari Langit Dan Bumi (From The Earth And Sky) at Wei-Ling Contemporary Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.
