If there is a method in naivette, it must have manifested in Fauzul Yusri’s paintings of raw lines, odd blotches and shapes, and random scribblings. It’s like a festival of conteng (wild scrawlings), yet the composition shows a design and a purpose diametric to the chaos. He offers a clue into how he works: “I first try to deform or disfigure my canvas by colour, line, space or drawing and then try to solve the mess I created. The solution lies in resolving the rhythm, proportion, forms and balance.” Fauzul Yusri graduated from the Mara Institute of Technogy in 1999, majoring in Drawing. His solos include Works On Canvas, Cages, Pop Primitive, Neolithic, Ground, Raw, Coreng, Guris and Whiteground. His early success was the Incentive Award in the Galeri Shah Alam Open Show in 2000, and Special Mentions in the Young Contemporary Artists (2002) and Kijang Awards (2014) competitions. His artworks are often commissioned by hotels, for the lobby / corridors / rooms.
