Mohd Raduan Man’s “Anak Anak Wayang I-VII” series, created in 2005, offers a compelling exploration of cultural heritage and contemporary expression. Drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, prevalent in Southeast Asia, Raduan Man infuses the series with a modern sensibility. Each piece in the series intricately weaves together traditional motifs with a contemporary visual language, creating a dynamic dialogue between the past and the present. Through skillful manipulation of form and color, Raduan Man invites viewers to delve into the complexities of identity, tradition, and the ever-evolving nature of cultural heritage. The “Anak Anak Wayang I-VII” series serves as a captivating testament to Raduan Man’s mastery of his craft and his ability to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation.
