Over the past year, I have had the privilege to meet many interesting local artists, and this exhibition - The New ‘V’ – highlights the work of some of the avant garde amongst them.

The ‘V’ of the title apparently signifies attributes such as; Vision, Vitality and Versatility. The “New V” exhibition is an exciting collection of works of ten contemporary young artists - Adam Jamal, Anddy Romeo Dulait, Crig Roynno Francis, Donald Abraham,Harlod Peter, Ir wan Azman A wang , Lybby Illyas, Kazat Keong, Aks Kwan and Suparno Sapar.

These artists with their diverse backgrounds explore a wide range of media and styles, from canvas to graffiti, cartoons to animation, t-shirt design to toys. Much of their output represents a fusion of Western and Asian cultures. In their desire to share their unique individual stories, the artists have drawn inspiration from people and events close to them. They are visual storytellers with individual styles and techniques serve to expand the definition of our culture.

Although this is the first time the group has exhibited with the Sabah Art Gallery, they are no strangers to the art scene. Individually, collectively , they have been involved in numerous projects including the creation of comics (notably; Kwan’s joint publication with LAT of Image Comic, Liquid City, Vol 2), the production of street art (painting columns at the old welfare building site on Jalan Hj. Saman in Kota Kinabalu), and the completion of mural paintings of various organisations.

Portraying as it does, a vast array of styles and formats – fine art, surrealism, outsider art, naive art, 3D art, pop art, multimedia animation, comic and graffiti art - I hope this exhibition will encourage visitors to ponder the established notion of Sabahan contemporarist and its role in our lives . It is my particular wish that the younger viewers find inspiration from the work on view and use it as a springboard for their own creative endeavours.

Pronounced in words it’s almost lik e ‘newbie’. It is the first time a group of artists grouped together for an art exhibition under the Sabah Art Gallery , one can say that they are “newbie” in the art gallery.

The V to the “New- V has a ver y broad meaning. It could be Vision, View, V oice, V ulgar, V ivid, Vast, and so on, it depends to an individual’s interpretation.

Kwan says that ‘ V ’, is victory for outsider art styles finally getting the interest of the public.

New V ’s main purpose is to give an alternative perspective of art and promoting it, since urbane concepts has always been an appealing topic.

The group hope that in the future more creative people will step up and promote expressive art themes.
