J. Anu developed a unique conceptual practice that allows him to translate his interest in historical themes and social commentary into a painted image. This is a portrait of Malaysia's tenth Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim. It has been a daunting path before he becomes the Prime Minister. Artist, journalist, lawyer - J. Anurendra has been all, but it is in art that he excels and excites. He did his MFA at the Monash University, Melbourne (2003) after a Foundation in Art and Design at Oxford Polytechnic (1987) and LLB Honours at the University of London. After a tame first solo in 1992, J. Anu has come up with several head-turning exhibitions culminating in Sacred Altars in 2017. His other notable solos include My God Is My Truck, Conditional Love and Melancholic Mantras, as well as MA-NA-VA-REH - Love, Loss and Pre-Nuptials in the Age of the Great Debate.
