Nizar Kamal Ariffin plays with intricate thread-like interwoven permutations that invite scrutiny. Whether in a square or mandala-like circle, the lines and meshwork within relate to personal growth, freedom and spirituality. Nizar graduated in Fine Arts and Graphic Design from Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang in 1986. He was a resident artist at the Artist’s Colony at the Kuala Lumpur Conlay Craft Complex in 1998, and is now attached to the Taman Seni Budaya in Pahang. He is a member of the Pahang Art Society (Senika). |
