Fendy Zakri’s new works follow a minimalist artistic path based on his observations of the sun and moon. The artist is settled in creating art that contains self-searching and deep reflection. Presented here is a poetic work expressing day and night. The combination of monochromatic hues compliments each other giving it a modern twist.
Fendy Zakri, a self-taught artist who’s an engineer by training, won the Incentives Award in the Mekar Citra Gallery in Shah Alam in 2013 and was a resident artist at the Beranda Art Colony in Langkawi. He was given two solo exhibitions by Richard Koh Fine Art (Kuala Lumpur) namely Seeing The Unseen and Hyphen Jocund in 2014 and 2016 respectively. He is a finalist in the Malaysia Emerging Artists Award in 2011. He graduated with a Diploma in Civil Engineering at the Engku Omar Polytechnic in Ipoh, in 2003. He believes that “the thought behind an artwork is more important than the skills in creating it”. His latest solo was held at Taksu KL in 2019.
