Pixels by Amsyar Ramly interrogates the nuances between form and element discovered through textural paintings, presented as a visceral sensation for the mind. Within the boundaries of sense and memory, Amsyar's exploration takes us to a stimulating depth of expressive colours, enriching our immediate view with an arresting visual play.

Steeped in the narrative continuity of his past works, Amsyar's recollection of landscapes that he has visited and experienced persists -- an illusory impression that unearths itself throughout the gallery, centred on a new derivation of the pointillism technique he had begun favouring in the past few years. Seen at a greater distance, Pixels undeniably portrays distinguished landscapes. At close proximity, an altered optical engagement builds and dissolves itself in our vision, coalescing brilliantly.

Here, Pixels offers an insight into the vibrant terrain of preserved visual information, a distinct memory that unveils itself upon entering, fragmented yet homogenising all at once.
