This debut piece by Abdul Fattah at Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers illustrates a male figure’s side profile captured in motion. Executed when the artist was 25 years of age, the artwork demonstrates his acute observation on movement with minimal choice of palette to depict transience. In this piece, Abdul Fattah uses blue, black and white with delicate and careful brushstrokes to portray his subject.
Abdul Fattah received his fine art training from the Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta. Since 2005, he has been an active participant in numerous group exhibitions at galleries in Yogyakarta, Solo, and Jakarta. Some of the exhibitions include Biennale Indonesian Art Award: Contemporaneity at Galeri Nasional Indonesia (2010), The Indonesian Heritage Society (2009), THE HIGHLIGHT: From Medium to Transmedium at Jogja National Museum (2008). Abdul Fattah lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
