Artist: Sliz (Kuala Lumpur) Assistant Artist: Lyana Qistina Leong binti Mohd Tauhid Leong Title: Real Eyes Realise Real Lies. The mural features three women holding hands, dancing gracefully in a circle. It draws reference from the famous classical painting by Matisse, called Dance, to imply the same feeling of emotional liberation Matisse intended. But instead of using five figures like the original painting, this mural only utilises three women, each representing the three primary colours: red, blue, and yellow. This is supposed to show unity and inclusivity, of how from these three basic colours you can create any colour in the world by mixing them together with the right amount. This is intended to portray the harmonious multicultural nation Malaysia can become, if we are able to acknowledge our differences and ‘mix’ up our different culture and ideologies to create something totally new. Unlike the original, the women is also clothed in white flowing dress to show movement. The white dress also implies purity, or a new start: like a white canvas, ready to be painted. This pays tribute to the fresh new start the Sasaran community is trying to achieve by turning fishing village into an art hub that promotes cultural exchange locally and globally
