Capturing the simple sceneries of life, Raduan Man (b.1978, Malaysia) continues
to enliven us with his cozy and evocative works. The exquisite woodcut, True
Friend, features a tender scene of a dog and cat sharing a moment of affection,
within a warmly lit background and an inviting porch. The composition is alive with detail, from the glowing lantern to the scattered fruit, each element expressing
everyday beauty and companionship.
In this charming style, we are invited to rely on our senses to fully appreciate the
joy and comfort it evokes. True Friend not only portrays a scene of heartfelt
connection but also revisits a homely, comforting place in our hearts.
