작품 상세

Hamidi Hadi is an established abstract artist known for his distinct experimentation of materials. Using a multiplicity of media and with different techniques, he has created his own repertoire of expressive works about nature and couched in spirituality. The artist's fusion of linear shapes with organic abstractions in a grid structure reflects his explorations of drawing and mark-making. The space, divided into sections of horizontal and vertical lines, features an array of interesting organic shapes, lines, and marks applied with vigour. 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 (2018), 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 Hong Kong in April 2017. His solo Trembling In Silence was held at Wei-Ling Gallery, KL.
