So much pain, twitching and writhing in agony, caused by the barbed wire... a result of war that leads to destruction, torture, and annihilation of mankind (where weapons of mass destruction are used). The blood stained fingerprints on the wall cause one to tremble and shiver... there seems to be no way out, from the brutality, enormity, cruelty of the world. Ahmad Fuad Osman intoned: “To me art is a journey like life itself. It is something transient and must not set in black and white, cemented in, or immutable. Apart from my moral and religious uphold, I have never set any limitation or boundaries in the pursuit of creating art. I do not believe in single thought process, style, medium or material, over another. Art becomes a window through which I am given a freedom to get to know life, the world and its Creator.” Ahmad Fuad Osman’s mid-career survey exhibition, At The End Of The Day Even Art Is Not Important, at the National Art Gallery Malaysia was a great success, positioning him as the leading contemporary artist in Malaysia. He was artist-in-residence at Rimbun Dahan (2007-2008), Goyang Art Studio, South Korea (2005-2006) and the Vermont Studio Centre, United States (2004). He won the Juror’s Choice award (one of three) at the APB Signature Art Prize in Singapore (2008) and the Malaysian awards in the Philip Morris Asean Art Awards in 2000 and again 2003. Fuad was educated at the Mara Institute of Technology (1991). His auction record was set at the Henry Butcher November 2019 auction, for RM 123,200.
