작품 상세

‘Bercoreng’ means squiggles and scrawlings of thick, long lines. Fauzul Yusri’s painted drawings are filled with lots of graffiti-like adventure of animate and inanimate objects, sometimes whole and sometimes in fragments, meaningless and raw like coming from the subconscious mind. In his Primitive Pop departures of smears, scrawlings and stains, he explained: “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 lies in resolving the rhythm, proportion, forms and balance.” This work, Bercoreng, travelled to Fukuoka under the Kembara Jiwa (Travelling Soul) exhibition organised by Galeri Chandan@Publika in 2013, with the Expanded Passion homecoming in January-February 2014. Fauzul was among 17 selected artists featured in the exhibition.Ever since Fauzul graduated from Universiti ITM in 1999, majoring in Drawing, Fauzul has been consistently exposed in solos like Works on Canvas, Cages, Pop Primitive, Neolithic, Ground, Raw, Coreng and Guris at several galleries like Elm Quay Fine Arts, Galeri Izu and Taksu, all in Kuala Lumpur. His latest was Whiteground at Taksu in September. He received the Incentive Award in Galeri Shah Alam’s Open Show in 2000, and Special Mentions in the Young Contemporary Artists (BMS) and Kijang Awards competitions in 2002 and 2004 respectively.
