There are two big blotches of red on the top left/bottom right diagonal, but while they are dominant, the operate as a surface veneer over somewhat abstract forms of parallel vertical lines. The red, like some kind of controlled smoke movement, can be seen as streaked over by the black in a push-and-pull manouevre. The aim is just to create a mood than to tell any story. Not all areas are taken up, making the tiny and faint strips of black as a backgrounder. Self-taught Fendy Zakri likes to play with lines, colours, composition, space and form. His Diploma was in Civil Engineering at the Engku Omar Polytecnic in Ipoh, in 2003. His mantra is: “The thought behind an artwork is more important than the skills in creating it.” His first solo exhibition, Seeing The Unseen, was held at Richard Koh Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur, in May 2014. The underlying meanings of the 13 works on show can be revealed using PicsArt, a photo-editing softwear on a smartphone to reveal what is hidden. Fendy is a finalist in the Malaysia Emerging Artists Award in 2011, and won an Incentives Award in the Mekar Citra Gallery in Shah Alam in 2013.
