When he’s in search of a little creative spark, artist Kide Baharudin often hits the road with his wife Ika Sharom, using quiet trunk roads that meander through the long-forgotten landscapes of small towns and villages across the country.
It’s these scenes from their spontaneous road trips that inspired many of the pieces in Kide’s third solo exhibition, Mato-Mata, now showing at Galeri Puteh until Oct 23. It is also a show that marks his 10th year in the art scene, starting out as a print artist/illustrator before turning to works on canvas.
