This blue composition with accents of colour depicts a group of people on the dance floor, in the artist's free flowing lines and gestural marks. Nik Rafin creates an illustrative quality rather than painterly in this abstract rendition. The spontaneous use of lyrical shapes and colours unfold through the play of rhythmic lines.
An artist, photographer and entrepreneur, Nik Rafin runs his own gallery, Rafin Art Gallery. His paintings are reinterpretations of the scenes and subjects that he captures with his camera lens with added emotions. Among the subjects of his works include wildlife and sceneries executed in various media such as watercolour and ink. His abstract paintings from the Escape series are a personal rendition of escaping negative emotions. He held his first solo exhibition at Golden Palette Art Gallery, Selangor in 2001. Among the group exhibitions that he has participated included the Annual Malaysian Watercolour Organisation group exhibition at NN Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2006); All In The Family Art Exhibition at Balai Seni Lukis Negara, Kuala Lumpur (2005); Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design Students Art Exhibition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA (1997), and more.
