M. Zain Idris had the greatest admiration for village life, and he highly cherished it. He was dubbed the “Fisherman’s Artist” by Frank Sullivan, and was known for depicting the landscape of the seaside and fishermen villages. Kampungs are the panoramas of the charming scenes of nature. Although it is plain and simple and it is always filled with divine beauty, artist M. Zain Idris captures it in this piece. All in all, this piece is filled with romanticism and brilliant execution.
