작품 상세

The finely chiselled woodblock cuts within the figures, whether he be Nature Man or the antithesis Skull Man, has become Sabihis Pandi's early trademark. A reticulated network of parallel vein-like lines flows through the figure within an anatomical framework. There is a sense of destiny about Sabihis' works, where the characters are all placed within a pack of cards, after his own set of Tarot cards, and whose cards are used to determine the fate of a person. Sabihis Pandi broke into the art scene in 2013 when he won the Malaysian Emerging Artists Award in the competition co-organised by HOM Art Trans and Galeri Chandan. In 2014, he won the Bronze Award in the Established Artists category of the prestigious UOB Painting of the Year. He was identified with the three-man group Studio Pisang, the others being Shafiq Nordin and Hisyamuddin Abdullah. His other notable group exhibitions were Block by Block (Galeri Chandan), Young Guns (HOM Art Trans, 2017). He had taken part in the Art Expo Malaysia in 2014, 2016 and 2017. He took part in the 2015 Art Bazaar Jakarta, and was selected for the exhibition called The Collective Young From Southeast Asia at Mizuma Gallery, Gillman Barracks, Singapore in 2015. Sabihis graduated with a BFA, majoring in Printmaking from the Universiti ITM in 2011, after receiving his diploma at UiTM Machang, Kelantan, in 2009.
