In this study of relationship between light and swathes of colour, Ajim emphasised bold gestural brushwork and mark makings layered on a textured canvas. A rich interplay of shadowy forms, fluid horizontal strokes and burnished effects across the surface contribute to the expression of movement. The canvas is highlighted with luminous colours of black and brown giving the work a lively and energetic atmosphere.
Ajim Juxta, or Raja Azeem Idzham, is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Architecture, Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam. After having briefly worked as an architect for three years upon graduation, Ajim then turned to his true calling in art. As an artist, Ajim is not afraid to explore new media types. He draws upon ideas of dystopian realities while in pursuit of personal utopias. Ajim views the lives of individuals as being neither here nor there, constantly in a state of discontent, yet lost as to what fulfilment truly entails. His works were described as akin to organic blueprints created to make sense of a world observed from a current perspective. Ajim's solo exhibitions include Lamantara, Core Design Gallery, in collaboration with Artemis Art (2022), Dystopians +, Artemis Art, Publika (2020), Tugu|Ugut held at PAM Centre, Kuala Lumpur (2018). He was awarded the Khazanah National Associate Artist Residency, Acme Studios, London, UK in 2017.
