Everything and anything is the meaning behind Kangblabla, the moniker of Julius Raja Manickam who adopted the ‘70s English slang for his own. It is the way he approaches his work; he expresses himself through various formats – from graffiti, abstract work, illustrations, to comics – all in the objective of creating a narrative that will soon define him as an artist. Not to be bound by style or technique, it is clear that his range of work can attest to his artistic skill as well as the underlying message to promote the beauty in diversity. The idealistic Julius strives to convey messages of acceptance and harmony among not just humans, his compassion extends towards animals as well as inanimate beings and objects. If you find yourself experiencing some difficulty in interpreting the meaning behind his work, you should have a conversation about it if you get the chance – go ahead and establish a real connection with the artist.
