There is a layered complexity to Mohd Khairul Izham’s work that reveals itself gradually. At first glance, the viewer is met with a beautiful chaos, an abstract composition that appears spontaneous and expressive. Yet, as one draws closer, hidden images begin to surface. A wau, chamber pot, snake, bird, and other fleeting forms subtly embedded within pastel tones come to light. Born in 1985 in Maran, Pahang, Khairul explores themes of memory and the past through a process of intricate layering and deliberate obscuration, inviting viewers to engage with what is both revealed and concealed. His works leave behind traces and residues of recollection that are deeply personal, yet universally resonant.
