Kritikan Kuratorial
The book “Curatorial Criticism” by Badrolhisham Mohd. Tahir, which contains 19 articles, makes a highly important contribution at a time when materials related to art criticism appear to be lacking locally, compared to other art genres such as literature. This shortage results in local artworks being assessed, measured, and interpreted from a Western perspective, ultimately limiting Malaysia’s art from fully ‘liberating’ itself from foreign art influences. Each article in this book is a deep exploration to understand the journey and phenomenon of local art from the perspective of Malaysian critics. As a result, the author positions himself as an observer, interpreter, and critic in the midst of the paradigms, polemics, and clash of ideas surrounding Malaysian visual art since the late 1990s, which have been documented in various local media outlets.

Due to being dazzled by Anwar Ridhwan’s talent in the world of creative and descriptive writing, we seem to overlook and fail to notice that he is also skilled and talented in other branches of art. The world of painting has also been seamlessly integrated into his persona for a long time, in line with his talent and inclination in the field of writing.
