on paper, shopping bags as well as other odds and ends &#8211; made after a recent visit to Germany.<\/p>\n<p>While the irreverent satire in Anurendra\u2019s art continues to explore the particular post-colonial realities of living in a multiracial, multicultural and multireligous Malaysia, with Letters to Mr. Hitler, the artist also attempts to find parallels in other larger histories and significant current events that have shaped the world he lives in.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting contemporary portraits, rendered on surfaces as diverse as shopping bags and objects like carpenter\u2019s tools and little blue Tiffany boxes are perceived through the sentimental distance of memory as well as the usual crisis of identity and as always, layered with autobiographical, popular-culture and historical contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Anurendra lives in a small house in a middle-class suburb in Kuala Lumpur with his wife, daughter and their two Pugs.<br \/>\nLetters to Mr. Hitler will be exhibited at The Arts House, Singapore from 4th October to 8th October 2012.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The Arts House is located at:-<br \/>\n1 Old Parliament Lane<br \/>\nSingapore 179429<br \/>\nWebsite: www.theartshouse.com.sg<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/AnuE-invitation.jpg\">Please click here to view invitation card<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031{\nheight:35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/singapore.angloinfo.com\/whatson\/event\/20856\/letters-to-mr.-hitler-anurendra-jegadevas-first-solo-exhibition-in-singapore\/\">Angloinfo Singapore<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.nst.com.my\/opinion\/letters-to-the-editor\/art-the-a-list-1.150165\">&#8220;The A List&#8221;, New Straits Times, 30th Sept 2012<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CuRRENT\u00a0|\u00a0PAST works\u00a0|\u00a0press release Letters to Mr. Hitler, New Works on Paper, Shopping Bags and Other Odds and Ends Anurendra Jegadeva Anurendra Jegadeva is a Malaysian figurative artist and writer.
