THE ART MASTER OF L’AUTOMATISME

CV CONCEPT


WELCOME TO THE ARCHIVE COLLECTION:

The Roots of Innovation

Every artist’s journey is marked by pivotal moments—works that serve as both steppingstones and silent witnesses to creative transformation. This curated selection of my earlier pieces represents the essential foundation from which my current explorations in Automaticism and Asemic writing have emerged. These works are not simply “early attempts”; they are authentic, original expressions that capture the raw energy, curiosity, and experimentation of my formative and transition years.


SALVADOR

18″ X 24″

MARKER, ACRYLICS, & GOLD LEAF ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2016

Speaking of Surrealism, there is a resemblance with Salvador Dali’s `Sleep’. This looks simple and effortless but to whip a line in speed across the page while presenting a mastery in the handling of space, mass and temperament take years of practice.


PRAYER 2019

16″ X 11″ (diptych)

MARKER, GRAPHITE & EMBOSSED GOLD LEAF ON PAPER 2019

After my mother passed away, a female image started surfacing in my works, may be in the form of a muse? The highlight in this work is in how the lines subconsciously placed, which turn out to be exactly the contour of clasped hands.


ISOLATION

18″ X 24″ ACRYLICS & GOLD LEAF ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2022

Re-worked on an image started a decade ago with the new applications attained in recent years.


LETTING GO

8″ X 23″ MARKER, ACRYLICS, GRAPHITE & GOLD LEAF ON MOLESKIN PAPER 2023

This was the final piece before I introduced Asemic script into the composition. Letting go – a reminder to self that I had to move onto another stage.


PHOENIX

24″ X 30″ WATER COLOUR ON PAPER 2013

I was lost between stages as I treaded onto an Albertian artist Janvier who used thing lines of bright colours Anything I would do to accept a challenge!


EYE

30″ X 26″

OIL ON CANVAS 1986

$3000

An early work done in frustration when back in the University days, I was reluctant to comply to play the expressive game when I was not ready. I needed a foundation before moving on.


SUTRA

8″ X 11″ MARKER, GRAPHITE & GOLD LEAF ON PAPER 2022

The very first piece to try out Asemic script with an Asiastic influence and was thought to be some kind of sutra script related to Buddhism.


LIBERATION

8″ X 11″ MARKER, GRAPHITE & GOLD LEAF ON PAPER 2022

SOLD

The hand was formed by adding two lines to the shape that suggested. The few types of pens used gave life to a wider scope of blacks.


A TOUCH OF CLASS

8″ X 11″ MARKER, ACRYLICS, GRAPHITE & GOLD LEAF ON PAPER 2023

As I was figuring out my own interpretation on facial presentation, anime was one of the trials, namely, the large eyes, small mouth and pointy nose.


PILGRIMAGE

54″ X 24″ (triptych)

ACRYLICS ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2021

With subconscious as a guiding light, my works often reflect what I think and my stance at the moment. Such is a piece about religions and their worshippers.


PARTING FROM THE ABYSS

18″ X 48″ (diptych)

ACRYLICS ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2022

Haunted by the white space of the unfinished picture from 2011, I finally faced to finish the piece and turn it into a diptych. The figure was found a decade later. Thus another proof of my gift of revelation.


SPIRITS

18″ X 30″ x 4″

PAPER TOILE 2015

There is always a need to do something on the side to keep an alternate perspective. The shapes are all cut up from the same sheet according to the subconscious lines crossings. Only two made of this kind.


DISINTEGRATION

18″ X 24″ MARKER, ACRYLICS, GRAPHITE & GOLD LEAF ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2016

There were only three made of my last abstract attempts. Equilibrium and Echoes being the other two share the development from centralized composition in 2016.


FOLLOW YOUR HEART

18″ X 24″ MARKER, ACRYLICS, & GOLD LEAF ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2016

SOLD

There were pieces that took no time to finish but cast a deep impression. Practised with hundreds of small sketches, I delved into a series with a spontaneity that balanced with cognitive colour placement. It set a foundation approach for works made from 2018 onwards.


PASSING BEAUTY

18″ X 24″ MARKER, ACRYLICS, GRAPHITE & GOLD LEAF ON CANVAS PAPER 2023

This piece took 5 years to complete. The Asemic script was added towards the end as I mastered the use of such after trials. The composition originated back in 2019.


PAST & PRESENT

24″ X 36″ X 3 (triptych)

ACRYLICS ON CANVAS 2011

SOLD

The beginning of polytych attempts. These were produced without planning ahead, one canvas at a time. Thus also began practising my faith that is needed for subconscious compositions.


CLAW

23.5″ X 27.5″ (framed)

ACRYLICS & GOLD LEAF ON GLASS 2013

There were a few pieces which I transferred the blue print of my subconscious line composition and painted it on the flip side of the glass. The colours look brilliant and changes as the lighting of the room changes, the colours follow.


CUBICLES

18″ X 24″ & 16″ X 20″

MARKERS ON PAPER

SOLD

Based on a poem I wrote, I created an image as a reference. Possibly due to such spontaneity, two originals of different sizes both found their owners.


HOOK

36″ X 48″ GRAPHITE ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 1988

$3000

In my expressive stage, energy and boldness were addressed. This 4 ft work was done as a graduation pieces. Looking back, without preconceived composition was the first reminiscence of how I should start every work later on in life.


EVADE

42″ X 42″ MARKER, & GRAPHITE ON WATER COLOUR PAPER 2003

$30000

This was produced with short strokes and I used at least 70 pens in the process. The image was taken from an earlier painting and each small areas are comprised of individual composition possibilities.


CURRENT

36″ X 36″ ACRYLIC AND OILS ON CANVAS 1995

SOLD

Juried for auction at the Phillip Charrriol Painting competition in 1996.


ELAINE

24″ X 24″ OIL ON CANVAS 1986

SOLD

After much disagreement with my professors on the need to go abstract, I answered with this realism result after privately working for a solid foundation.
