Influenced by his deep interest in comics and cinematic films, Fawwaz Sukri is well loved for his bold, animated paintings. His experimental rendition of Goofy is portrayed with blood shot eyes, and a melty appearance, enveloping the viewer in a psychedelic trip. The overall feeling of synaesthesia is produced with the contrasting kaleidoscopic patterns in the backdrop, traversing the mundaneness of everyday surroundings into celebratory, vivid colours.
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.
