Fauzan Fuad's Art Style

Fauzan Fuad's artistic style is deeply rooted in Malaysian street and skateboarding culture, street art, punk, and the Western abstract-expressionism movement of the 1950s. Influenced by over two decades of skateboarding, he discovered his identity and artistic talent through the process of 'mark-making', finding inspiration in the intensity of urban experiences and the coexistence of contradictions. As Fuad himself describes, his art serves as a response to the objects and subjects that beckon him during his journey.

“
From time to time, as I 'ride' on my own, seeking the purpose of existence, many objects and subjects, whether living or non-living, often beckon me to 'record' or observe (inhale), thereby opening questions to be responded to. And art is the channel for this outward 'breath,' responding to it in any medium available to me at that particular time.

His work reflects the vibrant spectrum of colors and the 'raw' authenticity of street culture, capturing the essence of the urban landscape through various mediums, including spray paint.
