Raduan Man’s London with Love brings together his signature woodcut technique and oil painting to create a vivid, textured portrayal of the city. Featuring a Dalmatian, a red phone booth and the London Tower Bridge, the composition intertwines personal symbolism with cultural landmarks. Through layered surfaces and bold contrasts, Raduan transforms familiar imagery into a contemporary visual dialogue, merging narrative and memory with his distinctive artistic language. Born in Pahang in 1978, Raduan Man is celebrated for pioneering the use of woodcut techniques on canvas in Malaysian contemporary art. A graduate of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) with a Bachelor of Fine Art in 2000, he later obtained a Master’s degree in Art and Design from De Montfort University, Leicester. His works, often blending animal motifs, landscapes, and cultural icons with layered textures, have been widely exhibited in Malaysia and abroad, earning him recognition as one of the country’s most innovative painters.
