| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| The idea of peace and violence has been explored by Malaysian visual artists in various ways. These works are mainly based on contemporary styles when it comes to form, and sometimes with a reference to Malaysian folklore. Thematically, these painters occasionally depict the misery caused by bloody battles, and occasionally emphasize racism, violence against children, environmental degradation and other forms of individual, social and universal violence. In this way, these artists have made a name for themselves on the international stage since the second half of the 20th century. They have played an important and effective role in the visual arts, especially in promoting a universal peace. , Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. |
