A multi-discipline artist, Azam Aris produces artworks using a variety of medium and approach. Influenced by the world of fiction and comics, his body of work is a continued search for new perceptions, to find meanings and representations in daily experiences. A figure of a young person is placed in a fantasy realm devoid of spatial reality. With his hand placed on his forehead and looking down, he is immersed in his thoughts (akin to The Thinker). Azam Aris received his Bachelor in Fine Art in UiTM Shah Alam (2005-2007). After graduating from art school, he was selected by HOM Art Trans to be part of a young artist residency program, which took 6 months and concluded with his first solo exhibition titled Float. His second solo exhibition, Paranoia, was held at RA Fine Art in 2010. He was one of the finalists for the 2005 Nokia Art Award and the 2007 Pact Max Malaysian Art Award, and won a Consolation Prize in the Live Drawing competition organised by National Art Gallery Malaysia in 2005. The artist has participated in many group exhibitions, including Open Show (2002) at the Sri Pinang Gallery in Penang; Experimental Video (2005) at the Multimedia Gallery, MMU, Cyberjaya; Sonic Cosmic (2006) at the Planetarium Negara, Kuala Lumpur; Young & New Part 1 (2008) at HOM Art Trans, Ampang; BAD (2010) at MAP @ Solaris, Kuala Lumpur; and Young Contemporaries (2010) at the National Art Gallery Malaysia. His recent solo exhibition Hidden Beyond Yesterday was held at HOM Art Trans in 2018.
