Much of contemporary artist Fauzul Yusri’s works are based on intuition comprised of unique doodles and symbolic phrases written on canvas, emphasizing with vigour the composition of lines. Beneath the raw layers of expression, the artist conveys narratives composed of scribbles and markings of subconscious meanings. Painted in naive style, the followers follow blindly, without discernment.
Fauzul Yusri graduated from the Mara Institute of Technology in 1999, where he majored in Drawing. Since then, he has built an extensive exhibition record, with notable solo shows including Works on Canvas, Cages, Pop Primitive, Neolithic, Ground, Raw, Guris, Coreng, Whiteground, and Konkrit. His works have been presented at galleries such as Elm Quay Fine Arts, Galeri Izu, and Taksu, all in Kuala Lumpur. He received the Incentive Award in Galeri Shah Alam’s Open Show in 2000, and Special Mentions in the Young Contemporary Artists (BMS) and Kijang Awards competitions in 2002 and 2004 respectively. His solo exhibition titled Batu was held at Taksu Kuala Lumpur in 2023.
