About the Artist

Nizam Abdullah was born in 1981, completed his studies in Limkokwing University in 2004 and graduated from fine art diploma, majoring in sculpture. He have been exhibiting locally and internationally and has been working on metal sculptures and manipulating it to become an art piece from sculptures, wall sculptures to functional art as home deco and his sculptures landscapes designs.

He started ‘The Fighting Rooster’ sculpture series that has become his signature work of art. The series represent a self-portrait of the artist himself. Self identification and self exploration has been his studies of interest.

Besides designing and bending the metal sculptures, he also paint and draw to produce other fine art work to satisfy his hunger to fine art. His work on series of distorted studies of himself in his previous solo exhibitions exhibit varies feelings and gesture in a year.

Now, he has came out with a new series to develop his appreciation for beauty and serene feelings by using the elements of flowers and bold colors to represent the drawing’s aesthetics values.

“Some of us are still searching for the true us or just sometime simply follow the influences around us. Conscious or unconsciously we are made by our perimeter surrounding,- friend, relative, parents, place we stay, neighborhood we live etc. This perimeter also created our character and the person we are now. This made us different from each other although we just the same human being”. Nizam Abdullah.

ARTIST’s PERSONAL STATEMENT

Self identification and self exploration, some of us are still searching for the true us or just sometime simply follow the influences around us. Conscious or unconsciously we are made by our perimeter surrounding,- friend, relative, parents, place we stay, neighborhood we live etc. This perimeter also created our character and the person we are now. This made us different from each other although we just the same human being.

“Talent not created from birth, neither gifted by nature, but formed by passion, love and determination.”
