Meor Saifullah graduated from UiTM Shah Alam with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Printmaking. He is known for his surreal figurative works which combine animal creatures with human elements. From the artist’s point of view, his work is about tensions and diversity between social groups and they are inspired by culture, proverbs and Malay paradigms. Employing cynicism in his works, Meor seeks engagement with human nature and attitudes.
Meor has been exhibiting since 2008 in various galleries in Malaysia while showing his artistic offerings in UN-CUT, a Malaysian Arts Festival held at Gallery Shambala in Copenhagen in 2009. He also participated at several highly regarded exhibitions and galleries including ‘Young and New Part 3’ at House of Matahati and ‘Overlook’ at Taksu Kuala Lumpur, both in 2009. This year, Meor took part in the Malaysian Emerging Artist Award of which he was a finalist. In 2010, he had a total of 5 exhibitions in Kuala Lumpur, ‘Locals Only’ at Taksu, ‘Contemporary Rhetoric’ at Valentine Willie Fine Art, ‘General Hanging’ at House of Matahati, ‘Earth Hour Exhibition’ at Zinc Art Space as well as ‘The Tale of Two Cities’, a two man show at Threesixty Art Development Studio.
