This work, Imbalance, of a disorientated, schizophrenic girl whose picture is split in the middle and dis-aligned to show two ‘actions’ and suggest some psychological flaw, was shown at Galeri Chandan in 2015. They are two different pictures of the same person, with the one on the left with eyes open and staring at viewer, while the other’s eyes are looking down with the eyelids down too, and the slightly tilted head supported by her left hand in akimbo. Only the rabbit, despite the dislodged plahe as it is from the same picture, remains calm.
Fadilah graduated with a Masters in Fine Art, Majoring in Painting, at the UiTM (University Mara Institute of Technology) Shah Alam, in 2013, Bachelor’s in 2010, and a diploma from the UiTM Malacca in 2008. She held her first solo, Vague, at the Pace Gallery (now Nadine Fine Arts) in 2012, and her most recent being Secret Lies at Taksu Gallery, KL, in April-May 2016. She was featured among 16 Malaysian figurative artists in a special exhibition in Art Stage Singapore 2015. |
