Its beauty can be produced from inexpensive materials like concrete, wood, soil, and aluminium foil that has undergone the repetitive process of casting or moulding or printmaking techniques, that carved the final outcome into a desired shape to attract the humans’ eye.


Understanding all these various concept of art, Galeri Petronas Malaysia has underlined the importance of natural artwork in printmaking techniques by launching Go Block : Five Contemporary Printmakers at Suria KLCC recently. The launch has showcased printmaking artworks by five Malaysian artists namely; Juhari Said, Ng Kim Peow, Izan Tahir, Zulkifli Yusoff and Shahrul Jamili.

This ongoing exhibition is to enlighten the public that there is an alternative to the usual printmaking process that only limits to the use of ink, block, paper, and stamping.

Though printmaking is consider as an inexpensive process, these five Malaysian artists have utilised this artform and turn it into their forte. They have been responsible pushing beyond the the boundaries of printmaking, by enabling audiences to delve into their complex minds and thought process by displaying their captivating their artworks that are deftly installed into powerful narrative art pieces.
