SENI KONSEPTUAL

KONSEPTUAL

Ini sebagaimana berlaku pada Duchamp’ dengan “Fountain” nya (Toilet Bowl) (Gambar 1 ), iaitu satu persoalan tentang apa itu objek seni, bukan suatu dokumentasi seni. Sulaiman pada karyanya, masih percaya pada persoalan konsep empat segi dalam mengutarakan karyanya, padahal papan putih tu tak perlu ada, kerana fungsi objek itu sendiri telah memadai.”10 Karya ini boleh dianggap sebagai sebuah karya potret diri beliau. Sebuah ‘lukisan’ bermedia campuran kehidupan peribadi beliau. Sulaiman Esa melukis kembali potret diri dalam dimensi yang lain daripada rakan-rakan artis beliau pada waktu ini. Walaupun tanpa ‘wajah’ beliau dalam karya ini ia merekod dengan lebih jelas lagi siapakah dia Sulaiman Esa. Karya Redza Piyadasa “The Great Malaysian Landscape” (Gambar 6) atau “Pemandangan Malaysia Teragung” merupakan sebuah karya lanskap yang menolak konvensi-konvensi yang ada pada catan lanskap itu sendiri. Karya ini yang pernah memenangi hadiah utama dalam Pertandingan Lanskap Balai Seni Lukis Negara pada 1972 mempersoalkan persoalan sifat seni lukis lanskap. Karya ini boleh dianggap sebagai catan dalam catan iaitu sebuah karya yang dihasilkan dalam karya itu sendiri.

This is what happened to Duchamp with his ‘Fountain’ (Toilet Bowl) (Picture 1), which is a question on what is the art object, not an art documentation. In his work, Sulaiman still believes in the square concept in showing his piece, whereas the white board is not necessary, because the object’s function is already adequate.”.10 This piece can be seen as his self portrait. A mixed media ‘painting’ of his personal life. Sulaiman Esa repainted his portrait in a different dimension from his peers at the time. Even though his ‘face’ is not present in this work, it records in a clearer way who is Sulaiman Esa. The work of Redza Piyadasa “The Great Malaysian Landscape” (Picture 6) is a landscape piece that objects conventions that are present on the landscape painting itself. This piece had won the main prize in the National Art Gallery Landscape Competition in 1972, questioning matters of landscape painting’s characteristics. This piece could be regarded as a painting in a painting which is a piece created in the piece itself.
