Fendy Zakri

b. 1982, Malaysia

Fendy Zakri is a minimalist artist who balances faith and spirituality in his works.

Greatly inspired by nature, specifically the moon and its everchanging cycles, Fendy’s work shows a deep reverence for the beauty and power of nature. With a perspective that is distinctively characterized by evanescence and phantasmagoria, Fendy’s work conveys the cycle of nature – without beginning or end, and constantly changing. His paintings explore different phases of nature – dark, light, fog, moon, sunrise, and sunset. The inspiration for Fendy’s work never appears in the exact same manner twice – change in nature happens expeditiously – his work, therefore, chronicles this occurrence, with specific feelings that he experiences at different times of the day reflected in his work.

Fendy has had many successful solo and group exhibitions across South-East Asia, and Seoul, South Korea. He had his successful solo exhibition, ‘Moonlight Fragment’ (2019), and ‘Into the Moon’s Groove’ (2022), both held at TAKSU Kuala Lumpur. His artwork is in private and public collections regionally and internationally and can be seen in the collection of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Group, Mandarin Oriental Hotel (SG), and ELSE Hotel & Retreat (KL). In his career as an artist, Fendy has received notable awards and was a Finalist for the Malaysian Emerging Artist Award 2011 in Kuala Lumpur.
