작품 상세

Thick impastoed configurations characterize Fauzin Mustafa’s works at this time. Semangat Bumi Series, coming just before the Lost Horizon Series, treads the same path about the beauty of Nature which could turn ferociously ugly in seconds if steps are not taken to preserve the natural environment. Fauzin plays with Shaped Canvas ala Frank Stella and surface tensions, usually monochromatic or with floral designs.
