Saiful is an iconoclast when it comes to using materials for his artwork, even paint. He is a Surface Man, not as in superficial but in the way he manipulates surface forms and tensions, even tactililty, with rhythms of optical illusions, mark-makings and layerings. This work was shown in Richard Koh Fine Art’s 10th anniversary celebratory exhibition, I Am Ten. Saiful Razman catapulted into the big league when he was the joint Major Award winner in the Young Contemporary Artists competition in 2016. He was artist-in-residence at Rimbun Dahan in 2004. In 2003, he won the Galeri Shah Alam Open Show Incentive Award and in 2005, the Justin Louis Award in the Freedom Film Festival in Kuala Lumpur. He graduated with a BFA from UiTM in 2003. He was featured in the Kuala Lumpur Biennale, the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum & Art Gallery, and has taken part in overseas exhibitions in Lebanon, Australia, Indonesia and Singapore.
