Description
Angkatan Pelukis Kedah, better known as APK, was established as a registered organization on 25 JANUARY 1977. At that time, Cikgu Jamaluddin Abdullah led APK as the first Yang DiPertua APK. APK's activities at the beginning of its establishment were based at the Multipurpose Complex, Jalan Stadium, Alor Star where the majority of its membership consisted of art education teachers from the Ministry of Education Malaysia who work in Kota Setar. The First APK Exhibition was held in 1978 at the Multipurpose Center Complex, Alor Star in collaboration with the Kedah State Department of Youth Culture & Sports. The APK Annual General Meeting on 3 APRIL 1981 saw Dato 'Ahmad Basri bin Mohd Akil who was then the Deputy State Secretary of Kedah was appointed as the Yang DiPertua APK and until now is still the Yang DiPertua APK for the 2006/2007 session. On 31 AUGUST 1981, the then Menteri Besar of Kedah, YAB DATO 'SERI SYED NAHAR SHAHABUDIN in his opening speech at the National Day Art Exhibition and Competition brought good news of the State Government's decision to establish the Kedah State Art Gallery by making the Public Works Department Headquarters Building in Alor Star as the Kedah State Art Gallery. The Kedah State Art Gallery has secured the inauguration of DYMM TUANKU SULTAN NEGERI KEDAH DARUL AMAN on 25 JULY 1983. The state government has recognized the struggle of APK until the establishment of the Kedah State Art Gallery by providing an APK office at the Kedah State Art Gallery and making the Board Kedah State Museum as the patron of APK. Under the leadership of Dato 'Paduka Ahmad Basri bin Mohd Akil for 26 years, APK has successfully held 20 large-scale art exhibitions and the last time was held on 14 July 2003 to 21 July 2003 at the Alor Star Great Hall. The exhibition entitled BERUSLENSA ’03 had to be held at the Balai Besar because the Kedah State Art Gallery is closed until now for conservation work. To date, APK has helped the state government create a collection of more than 200 works worth millions of ringgit, including the works of the country's great artists such as Dato 'Ibrahim Hussein, AB Ibrahim, Hoessein Enas, Amron Omar, Sharifah Fatimah Syed Zubir, and others. . There are also great works from abroad such as the paintings of Prof. Billy Morrow Jackson, artist USA. Since the establishment of APK, there have been several artists who have colored state and national painting such as Rohaizad Shaari, Ahamad Fauzi Hassan, A'Aishah Abdul Latif, Zamanuri Ashaari, Rosli Mat, Mutalib Zakaria, Fong Kim Sing, Lau Wai Fong, Ahmad Marzuki Abu Hassan, A.S.Kang, Choh Kiat Siong, Choh Kok Kheong, Cheung Pooi Yip, Chiang Soa Ling, Judin Ahmad, Annassuwandi Ahmad, Teoh Kai Suan, Wan Yahaya Wan Abdullah (Allahyarham), Zadul Mutaalim Ramli, Lahab Husin, Norizan Ali, Daud Saad, Baharom Abd Rahman (Allahyarham), Jamaluddin Abd Rahman, etc. APK and its artists not only held a series of exhibitions based in Alor Star and Kedah only, but also in Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Perlis, Penang, Perak, etc. APK artists are made up of those who are ‘selftaught’ and who are highly qualified in this field. Apart from the exhibition activities, APK also actively holds guidance classes for the public who are interested regardless of age. So far, all educational activities are carried out at the Kedah State Art Gallery, Alor Star; however, activities are now being carried out at Taman Budaya, Pumpong and Alor Star Youth & Sports Complex when the Kedah State Art Gallery was closed for renovation since 2002. APK artists are the mentors in the mentoring program held. Usually this activity is carried out in collaboration with the Kedah State Department of Culture, Arts and Heritage and the Kedah Youth & Sports Department. The Art Gallery resumed operations from March 1, 2007. APK activities are again centered at the Kedah Art Gallery, Alor Star. However, the APK office which since its establishment has been located at the Art Gallery has now been abolished by the management of the Kedah State Museum. The APK Administrative Committee hopes that the relevant parties take into account the historical record of the establishment of the Kedah State Art Gallery where the recognition given by the previous YAB Menteri Besar of Kedah and the consent of His Majesty Tuanku Sultan of Kedah to the APK with the operation of the APK office at the Kedah State Art Gallery during about 25 years before it was re -created.
