Malaysian artist Paul Nickson Atia has an 'Obsession' with prayer & repetition


Malaysian artist Paul Nickson Atia takes his Chinese ink works into the abstract margins, studying the nature of obsession and prayer.

Sarawak-born visual artist Paul Nickson Atia has a strange obsession with the idea of prayer.

It first appeared in his debut solo last year called Jari Berlari at Galeri Rumah Lukis in KL. One body of work, in particular from that series, called Obsesi, was the beginning of what appears to be a study of prayer and how it involves cycles of repetition.
