Rahmat
Jabaril's dark and brooding canvases offer snapshots of actual events
that have taken place in West Java during the past two years. Painted
quickly with a pallet of ice whites, blue and black his expressive
brushwork depicts demonstrations and riots he attended. Rahmat's
paintings leave the viewer with the sensation that one had also
observed the ominous scene at hand from an adjacent hillside through
the lens of a camera blurring as drops of rain run across it.
