작품 상세

Fauzul Yusri defragmentises reality into a game of disrepresentation withchild-like scrawlings in his Pop Primitive departures, investing character forthe images, a kind of subconscious method in chaos. He provides insightsinto his process: “I first try to deform or disfigure my canvas by colour, line,space or drawing and then try to solve the mess I created. The solution liesin resolving the rhythm, proportion, forms and balance.” He hinted as muchwhen he named one of his solos, ‘Coreng’, which is Malay for “mottle,” thatis marking with spots and smears of colours; and another he called ‘Guris,’which is about lines, raw and with layers, and primitive. Fauzul Yusri graduated from the University Mara Institute of Technologywith a degree in Fine Art (Drawing) in 1999. He won the Juror’s Prize in theNational Visual Art Gallery’s Young Contemporary Artist Award in 2014.Other awards include Incentive Award, Shah Alam Art Gallery Open, 2000;Special Mentions in the UCA 2002 and Bank Negara’s Kijang Award 2014.He has had several solos since his first at Elm Quay Fine Arts, KualaLumpur, in 2001, featuring later in Galeriizu and Taksu Galleries in KualaLumpur and Singapore.
