Saiful Razman reduces shapes into lines and squares, using a limited palette of white and grey. Informed by ideas of existence and realism by using found objects, the artist incorporates the use of medical gauze on the canvas, defying their function, but retaining their translucent quality and unique surface texture.
Saiful Razman hit the market circuit immediately after graduating with a BFA from UiTM in 2003. In 2004, he was featured in Valentine Willie Fine Art’s 3 Young Contemporaries. He was also selected for the 2004-2005 Rimbun Dahan artist residency. In June 2008, he held his first solo Pelan-Pelan & Bilik Gerakan at the Annexe Gallery, Kuala Lumpur and in March 2012, he staged the provocative Ereksi Jeneral at Richard Koh Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur. He was a committee member of the Notthatbalai Festival organised by the Lost Generation Space in 2004. Saiful is also a bassist and lyricist in his punk rock band, Gasoline Grenade.
