Lot description
In Rentak Bertingkah, Bayu plays with mesmerising abstract forms that coalescence into a harmonious whole, stirring emotions within the viewer. Orchestrated with a sense of rhythm, the expressive forms unfold within the composition. The interweaving forms evoke a sense of freedom and movement, superimposed against a dark background. Bayu's enduring vision is reflected in his founding of HOM Art Trans, an independent art space dedicated to cultivating Malaysia's young and emerging artists. Bayu received the Major Award in the Young Contemporary Artists competition with his Bujang Berani sculpture bust in 1991, which bucked the trend of Islamic Art brought about by the Ayatollah Khomeiny fundamental messianic strictures of the mid-1980s. That year he also won a Special Award in the One World - No War competition organised by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall. In 1992, he again made a big impact with his Minor Award win in the prestigious Salon Malaysia 1991-1992. In the Malaysian level of the Philip Morris Asean Art Awards, Bayu won Honourable Mention twice, in 1994 and 1995. What is most dynamic about the artist is that he went on to establish the Malaysian Emerging Artist Award as a collaboration between his gallery, HOM Art Trans and Galeri Chandan, apart from regional art initiatives in art residencies and the Art Triangle bringing together outstanding young artists from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Bayu graduated with a BFA in Universiti ITM in 1991. His solo exhibitions include Resonance of Souls, Artsociate, Harta Gallery (2025), Kelopak Rasa, HOM Art Trans (2021), Gejolak, G13 Gallery, (2017), Ada Apa Dengan Tengkorak, ChanHampe Galleries, Singapore & HOM Art Trans, KL (2015), Face Without Name, The Substation Gallery, Singapore (2011), Unnamed, HOM Kuala Lumpur (2010).
