TAKSU Kuala Lumpur is honored to present Coreng, a solo exhibition by Fauzulyusri from Malaysia. 'Coreng' is Malay for mottle, which is the action of marking with spots or smears of colour. Fauzulyusri returns with this theme, and yet again he takes a bold stand in both form and matter. He thin-sliced each work with a message that balances brightly strong hues of colours, leaving one with an immediate and lasting impression, which gives one the courage to decipher the true hidden meaning of what may initially seem like a naïve work, but captured in bold strikes of brush strokes, layers and forms. The artworks in the Coreng series took Fauzul a year to complete as he took time to mature the work over matter and the substances. He plays and correlates with the idea that perfection is overrated, and yet needed in today’s dynamics.
With all this said, this collection of work stands firm that there is beauty in themes of daily life and power over minor and small formations. His work compels one to think beyond romanticism, to see the richness in the basics and in the given innate imperfections.
