Mohd Khairul Izham’s Hujung Tanjung exemplifies his distinctive approach to exploring themes of memory and cultural identity through layered abstraction. Employing a complex interplay of textures and forms, the artist invites viewers to delve into a visual narrative that is both enigmatic and evocative. Born in Maran, Pahang, Khairul Izham graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). His work often reflects a conscious masking technique, leaving behind traces that evoke the process of recollection. Hujung Tanjung, translating to “Edge of the Cape,” may symbolize a threshold between the known and the unknown, the tangible and the intangible.
