According to notes published in a catalogue released by the National Art Gallery in conjunction with the Ismail Zain “bayang Maksud” exhibition, Springsteen to Ismail was a champion of the working class people, and galvanised in them the “can-do spirit”. By including Jawi writing behind a dot matrix image of “The Boss”, it suggested his message to Malaysians could have been the same.
The exhibition, which is currently held at the National Art Gallery until Nov 17, includes not only Ismail’s dot matrix digital print on paper, but also mixed media, acrylic and oil collage on canvas. As an artist, Ismail held his first and only exhibition, themed “Digital Collage”, in February 1988 here.
Art student Peyton Liang, who was at the exhibition, said the late artist and his avant-garde ideas of incorporating digital technology into art inspired many to follow suit. Her favourite piece by Ismail was painting by Grant Wood, which depicts a woman standing next to a man, who is holding a pitchfork in front of a small white house built in the style known as Rural Gothic, or Carpenter Gothic.
