The ever-present moon by Ismail Abdul Latiff is at the centre of the intriguing layers of conflicting colours in the Angkasa Anggerik Putih Series. The canvas is covered in a wave of dominant blue and white that brilliantly displays the artist’s talent. He has been described as ‘one of the greatest escape artists ever to wield the brush’. His domain is one of magic and enchantment, a utopian place based on power, love, beauty, and purity.
