NEW ARTWORKS BY FUJI ANGGARA

Fuji Anggara “Nugraha I ( Perjuangan )” 2024 Acrylic on canvas 152 x 152 cm

Noorfuji Anggara, who is affectionately known as Fuji, is a young, emerging artist who was born in Kuala Selangor and currently resides in Klang. The artist graduated and holds a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from UiTM, in January 2019. Upon his graduation, Fuji has been catapulted into the Malaysian art industry, full steam ahead, by participating in numerous exhibitions and competitions. He juggles between multiple bodies of work almost simultaneously, exploring a variety of styles and forms that expresses his thoughts about all things nature through the means of pop figuration, semi abstract and semi expressionism.

Fuji has found himself returning to one of his favourite themes, which explores semi expressionist paintings. He has a fondness for combining space, composition and figuration and stylising it into abstract lines. Besides producing artworks, the artist is also actively involved in painting art murals and participating in various mural art competitions. He had an internship and exhibited his artwork in Sangkring Art Space, Yogyakarta for almost 3 months. He was involved in collaboration projects with Galeri Petronas as a panel artist and Art talks during workshop events in Galeri Petronas.

Fuji Anggara “Nugraha II ( Perjuangan )” 2024 Acrylic on canvas 170 x 170 cm

Fuji’s latest Perjuangan Series started when the young Fuji Anggara came across the bust of Tunku Abdul Rahman, created by sculptor Felix De Weldon and like a bolt of lightning, he was inspired to create, and so he did. Translated into struggle, this series serves as an ode to the love for his country and the forefathers, as well as notable individuals who laid the foundation and strove for freedom from the colonial power. Fuji’s Perjuangan Series comprises two paintings which were done earlier this year, each similar but distinct, sharing bold brushstrokes and vivid colours of the Malaysian flag, executed in his flair.

In his latest Perjuangan series new artwork embodies a captivating fusion of heightened artistic flair and bold, dynamic strokes that breathe life into the canvas. Each stroke pulsates with energy, conveying a sense of movement and emotion that engages the viewer on a visceral level.

The composition is a symphony of contrasts: light and shadow dance in harmony, creating a mesmerizing interplay of depth and dimension. With each stroke, the artist’s hand becomes a conduit for raw expression, channeling the ineffable essence of the subject into tangible form. The result is a work of art that transcends mere representation, inviting the viewer to journey into realms of imagination and interpretation.

In this masterpiece, artistry transcends boundaries, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world where every stroke tells a story and every hue evokes an emotion. It’s a testament to the power of creativity, reminding us of the boundless possibilities that exist within the realm of artistic expression.
