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. The figure whose body is partially hidden in a box with a checkered optical illusion, is accompanied with a bird. Sabihis Pandi broke into the art scene in 2013 when he won the Malaysia Emerging Artist Award in the competition co-organised between 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 is identified with the three-man group Studio Pisang, the others being Shafiq Nordin and Hisyamuddin Abdullah and the trio were featured in an exhibition called Attract Retract in November 2015. His other notable group exhibitions were Carbon Copy, Block By Block, Young Guns (Hom Art Trans, 2017). He had taken part in the Art Expo Malaysia under G13 Gallery's banner 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.
