Batu Rakit is located in Kuala Terengganu. Rainy season generally begins from November to January. It’s not a good time to travel to east coast as most of the beach will be closed. It’s not safe to do any activities as the tide gets high during the time. Captured in the scene here is a figure (holding an umbrella) riding his motorcycle clearly ignoring the heavy rain. The artist’s painting skill is impeccable.
With a deep interest in art, Zainal Abidin Musa enrolled at Institut Teknologi MARA to pursue a degree in Fine Art. He graduated in 1983 with a promising career as an artist, having won an award from the Malaysian Young Contemporary Artist competition. Formerly working in advertising, he has now returned to his first love — painting, once again taking up the brush, with no signs of slowing down or stopping. He has been active since the 2000s, with entries in various group exhibitions, as well as having had solo exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur. |
