In Landasan, a railway track is embedded in the countryside, implying man’s alteration of the natural world. The railway connects people and places, including families from different states; it is a line that strengthens relationships, and a pathway of opportunities for work. The journey by railway allows passengers to take in the sights and sounds of the vast countryside. Scenic views of the agricultural lands, jungles, and palm oil terrains are unravelled during the journey. Meanwhile, it could also be the basic infrastructure that provides hope for economic development, logistics of cargo, goods and various products. Awang Damit Ahmad is credited to have started one of the most compelling new abstracts related to land, purpose and people. A relatively late starter in art at the age of 27, he first studied at the Mara Institute of Technology, where he was Best Student, before getting his Masters at the Catholic University in Washington DC (1989-1990). He catapulted into top-artist status when he not only won the 1st Prize but also the Consolation Prize in the hugely coveted Salon Malaysia III at the National Art Gallery. It was for his Nyanyian Petani Gunung (now in the Petronas collection). He also won 2nd Prize in the Malaysian Bank Association art competition in 1988. His international exhibitions include the Contemporary Paintings of Malaysia at the Asia-Pacific Museum in Pasadena, Los Angeles, in 1988. He also excelled as lecturer at Universiti ITM until May 2011, when he retired to go full time into Art. Prices of his artworks often soar high in auction houses locally and abroad. His recent solo presentation in April 2021, From Payarama To Garismega: 2013-2020, was co-organised by Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers and Galeri Prima.
