Muhammad Nhawfal Bin Juma'at

Nhawfal makes conceptual artworks, including paintings, photos and drawings. His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and use everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context.

With an attitude of a bricoleur, Nhawfal acknowledges the potentiality of space qua-object and expands it. The abstract visual language of his aesthetics uses shape, form, colour and lines to create a composition that may exist independently from visual references in this world.

Nhawfal has exhibited extensively in Singapore. In conjunction with 2018’s Singapore Art Week, he was part of a group of young artists that exhibited in RAID, held at Tiong Bahru’s Air Raid Shelter. Nhawfal was also the artist and co-curator for The Lucky Show (2018) and RUANG (2017), held at temporal spaces in Singapore. In 2017, he exhibited in South Korea as part of the 10^th  Asian Students Young Artist Arts Festival and A Surreal Vision at Millepiani, Rome, represented by Loosen Art.
