Known as Kojek, he is a multi-dimensional artist with an inexorable imagination, taking his viewers on an edgy yet arresting adventure to an unfamiliar land beyond earth with his dark and surreal landscapes. On offer here is an obscure image appearing on the table cloth in the centre. It gives a chilling ambiance as it is against a dark background and an eerie surrounding. Ilham Fadhli graduated with a Degree in Fine Arts from Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam in 2003. Subsequently, he has frequently exhibited in galleries across Kuala Lumpur and had spent a term as the 16th Artist-in-Residence at Rimbun Dahan from 2010 to 2011. Ilham’s work addresses contemporary issues through an absurdist or surrealist narrative. He has held a two-man show with fellow artist Haslin Ismail titled Friction in Kuala Lumpur (2008) and a solo exhibition titled To Lie In Ruins held at Pace Gallery (2010). His collages often incorporate delicate figures, dramatic colours and the use of scale to create these narratives and invite the viewer to discuss the issues raised. Ilham’s works have been featured at the Rimbun Dahan Artist-in-Residence Show (2011), Spice! at Pace Gallery, Petaling Jaya (2010) and the MATAHATI Art Triangle held at National Visual Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2010). He has participated in a group exhibition in Singapore (2011), curated by the artist and curatorial collective called Flying Karpet Company founded by contemporary artists Aswad Ameir, Saiful Razman and Shahrul Jamili. His work was also featured in a group exhibition titled Kembara Jiwa Fukuoka: Expanded Passion organised by Galeri Chandan that was presented in Fukuoka, Japan in 2013. In Art Expo Malaysia 2019, he was represented by Segaris Art Center.
