Inspired by the art of comics and cinematic films, Fawwaz Sukri is well loved for his exciting paintings. Rich in visual metaphor, his works are influenced by comics. The Last Hope depicts a race between two racers. The race is filled with obstacles and challenges, eventually the racer who fought harder won the race. Victory prevails: No. 18 wins! Painted vividly in bright colours Fawwaz excels in making this piece appear visually interesting.
Fawwaz Sukri had his first solo at the Pace Gallery, now called Nadine Fine Art, in 2014. It was called Saturday Matinee, and he followed up with a two-man show called Narration with Indonesia’s Bambang Toko in 2016. He graduated with a BFA, majoring in Painting, from Universiti ITM in 2010, after his diploma at UiTM Lendu, Malacca (2008), both times winning the Vice-Chancellor’s Award. He was represented in Art Expo Malaysia in 2014 and 2017, besides Art Kaohsiung (Taiwan) in 2016 and 2017.
