Fawwaz Shukri has seized on an iconic Time magazine picture of the Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier world heavyweight championship fight in New York City on March 8, 1971, colourizing it in Pop tones and adding a surreal quality, as a metaphor of valour and struggles. The flamboyant Ali is shown dominant, towering over the shorter Frazier, ducking his right hook, though it was Frazier who eventually won in 15 rounds, on unanimous decision, in this match dubbed ‘The Fight of the Century’. Ali, making a comeback after an exile for dodging conscription to the Vietnam War, looked in decline, but proved his critics wrong when he beat Frazier in their second and last rematch in Manila, the Philippines, apart from felling George Foreman in Zaire. Fawwaz graduated with a degree in Fine Art, Majoring in Painting, in 2008-2010, at the University Mara Institute of Technology. His diploma was at the UiTM Alor Gajah campus (2005-2008). Both times, in 2008 and 2010, he won the Vice-Chancellor’s Award. He held his first solo, Saturday’s Matinee, at the Pace Gallery (now Nadine Fine Art) in Petaling Jaya in 2014, and held a two-man show called Narration with Bambang Toko Witjaksono at the same gallery in 2016.
