Raduan Man fuses woodcut technique with oil painting to create a striking composition in varied hues of red in this Senja creation. The layered textures and tonal shifts evoke the warmth and quiet intensity of dusk, while simultaneously showcasing the artist’s distinctive approach of blending printmaking with painting. The work demonstrates Raduan’s mastery in harmonising materiality and mood, transforming a simple moment of twilight into a contemplative visual experience. The tactile nature of woodcut, with its tension between precision and chance, allows him to create pieces that are at once visually striking and deeply contemplative. In Raduan’s hands, the ancient craft of printmaking is revitalised, becoming a contemporary medium that bridges tradition and modern expression, and offering viewers a visceral encounter with art that is as much about process as it is about meaning.
