작품 상세

Hamidi Hadi is one of the more exciting abstract artists to have emerged in the last decade. Using a multiplicity of media and with different techniques, he has created his own repertoire of contemplative Minimalist works about and from Nature and couched in spirituality. The work features a multi-layered composition with vibrant red paint amidst overlapping brown and orange hues. Hamidi Hadi obtained his Masters in Art & Design Network (Painting) at the University of Wolverhampton, UK, in 2002, after a BFA at the Universiti ITM (2000). He has won several awards including the UOB Painting of the Year (Malaysia) - Bronze Award, Established Artist Category in 2018, and the Malaysia-level Philip Morris Asean Art Award (2000) and the Consolation Prize in Bank Negara’s Kijang Award (2004). He has taken part in Art Stage Jakarta (2016), Art Expo Malaysia (2015, 2016); Kembara Jiwa: The Travelling Soul, Galeri Chandan Kuala Lumpur, Bandung, Jogjakarta, Art Exchanges with Poland (2006) and Japan (2005). Wei-Ling Gallery, then known as Townhouse, gave him his first solo called Indelible Markings in 2005 and hosted his next few, including Dari Langit Dan Bumi in 2016. His work, Bloated, fetched a premium of HK$60,000 at Sotheby’s HK in April 2017.
