Khairul’s artworks on paper are beautifully crafted, just as with his works on canvas. While these are not as mammoth in size compared to the canvases, they are still sizable and would make a great addition to one’s home. The artist’s latest narration of his Singgah Sana Emas Series, the ‘Singgah Sana Emas, Blue Paper Series, 2021 emanate similar subjects as his works in the past — trees blanketed by butterflies in some and birds on other, all lined out with gold hues against a mountain range in the far end and vivid, blue monotone background. The employment of gold lines to make up the tree makes it stand out and commands the attention of viewers. When viewed from a distance, one could easily mistake the birds and butterflies for flowers.
