Fawwaz Sukri
Fawwaz Sukri (b. 1987, Selangor, Malaysia) is an artist renowned for blending Malaysian heritage with Western influences through a distinctive Pop Art style. A graduate in Fine Art (Painting) from UiTM Shah Alam, his art draws deeply from comic aesthetics, particularly 1960s romance comics like ‘Heartthrobs’. These works inspire his exploration of tragicomedy, blending elements of tragedy and humour to reflect on the complexities of human relationships.
Fawwaz’s art incorporates bold outlines, vibrant colours, and dynamic compositions, often featuring collages that depict interconnected events. This technique emphasizes the relationship between fragmented narratives and the central theme, creating a dramatic and cohesive “big picture.” His works reflect a fascination with cultural fusion and societal dependence on visual media, mirroring the “remix culture” of his generation.
Internationally recognized, Fawwaz has exhibited at the CIMB Hotel Art Fair, Art Kaohsiung, and Art Expo Malaysia. Notable solo exhibitions include Saturday’s Matinee (2014) and These Walls (2023).
