Leading printmaking artist, Juhari Said produced Red Garden in eight editions in 1994. The abstract etching of a plot of land is enhanced by the use of red ink that further resembles soil. Every mark and groove are engraved in varying intensity — leaving a lasting impression on paper.
Juhari Said attended Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) from 1979 to 1983. He won the Permodalan Nasional Berhad Prize and the Main Prize in the printmaking category at Salon Malaysia in 1991. In 1993, he represented Malaysia at the ASEAN workshop in Manila, and was awarded a research grant in Paris by the French Government. In 1994, he received a research grant from Japan Foundation and studied traditional Japanese printmaking in Tokyo under national artist Yoshisuke Funasaka. In 2008, he was appointed as a Creative Fellow by Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang. He has also been awarded the Anugerah Karyawan Seni 2009 by the Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Malaysia.
Juhari has held more than ten solo exhibitions, and participated in over a hundred local and international exhibitions. His recent participation in group exhibitions included Go Block: Potilombus Wayahinik Pinogumu – The Expanded Contemporary Printmaking alongside contemporary artists Samsudin Wahab, Faizal Suhif and Shahrul Jamili at G13 Gallery, Selangor and Seni Cetakan Sepanjang Zaman: The Art Of Printmaking: Lasting Impressions at Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 2018. In 2013, he presented two solo exhibitions: Pet – Woodcut On Canvas at Galerie Vivant, Ginza, Tokyo and Pameran Cukilan Kayu Juhari Said, ‘Hewan’, Galeri Soemardja, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. Besides working as an artist, he also contributes his talent to the programmes organised by the Yayasan Raja Muda Selangor and other charitable organisations. Juhari works from Akal di Ulu, an orchard located in Hulu Langat, Selangor.
