| Explanation | "Musuh dalam selimut (The enemy in the blanket)" is a Malay proverb which suggests the dangers hidden beneath what may look safe at first glance. In this painting a man is getting into bed, oblivious to the poison snake the tail of which can be seen on the bed's edge. The work reminds one to be cautious even in a seemingly safe place - as symbolized here by the bed. The artist is a self-taught painter who became active in the 1990s. |
