In an abstract double platter, Riaz Ahmad plays with calligraphic squiggles resembling figures like the German artist A.R. Penck, or they can just lapse into some nebulous abstract lines. The two are contrasting works with one against a painted white and a lot of graffiti thrown in, while the other has a dull yellow wash with what looks like a spying eye on the top left. Riaz Ahmad Jamil, aka Nagesh won 3rd Prize in Printmaking in Salon Malaysia 1991 and the 4th Asean Youth Painting Award in 1986. He received his diploma at the Mara Institute of Technology in 1982-1986., and lectured on printmaking at ITM in 1988-1998 and on art at the Limkokwing Institute of Creative Technology in 1996-1998. He was apprenticed to printmaker Ilse Noor for the Shell calendar project in 1986-1988. He became a freelance artist in 2003. Apart from participation in group exhibitions such as I Love Abstract Art at Xin Art Space in September 2015 and Belantara at Segaris Art Centre in April 2017, Riaz is largely incommunicado.
