About the Artist:
Faizal Sidik focuses on collective conscience, an idea he investigates using a variety of mediums.
His earliest works, the War Series, use traditional techniques of drawing to comment on war and dissent, victimisation and silence. The pathos of the images is intense, with figures skillfully enhanced by dark colour combinations.
The installation sculptures combine traditional and modern figures with mechanisms. These works present visual and audible conversations on human rights, disrespected freedoms and biased agendas.
The Sublime & Beautiful series, inspired by 18th century Irish philosopher Edmund Burke, incorporates Eastern aesthetics, colour and traditional iconography (including textile designs). Sidik uses mathematical forumulae and utensils to explore and achieve the precision in design. http://www.shaliniganendra.com/artist_sidik.html
