KONKRIT

Solo Exhibition by Fauzulyusri

TAKSU brings you “KONKRIT”, the 13th solo exhibition by Malaysian contemporary artist, Fauzulyusri. This latest series marks his illustrious art career which has spanned for more than two decades. In this series, the artworks revolved around the unification of urban and nature – the right portion of the mixture and a sense of space and colours.

KONKRIT is a series about the wall of the urbanist. As Fauzul said, “Some of us need self-assurance, some love to play with narrative and some need systemic plans.” Born and raised in Kedah, a northern state in Malaysia, he often gets inspired with nature and combining with his life in the city, thus this series evolved.

Fauzulyusri’s love of texture is self-evident in this series. The greyish background is interpreted as the foundation wall; the pastel, earthly, primary colours portray nature. Armed with his paintbrushes and the precise mix of mediums containing industrial paste and oil paint, he lets his conscious and unconscious mind comes together and begins his art-making process.

This series is all about a strong structure with balance. This show is how Fauzul wants us to see, understand and appreciate his version of KONKRIT.

KONKRIT will be open from 26 August to 20 October 2021 at TAKSU Kuala Lumpur.
