Tajrin Faruqis feature wall of sketches and works at Work x Play exhibition at the National Visual Art Gallery. -- M. Azhar Arif/The Star 20 March 2017
For most people, there would already be some frantic gear-shifting action going on when you are in a car suspended in nothingness, and it is melting, dripping, dissolving before your eyes. But Tajrin Faruqi, 30, is cool as a cucumber amid the chaos surrounding him, embracing the looming clouds and dark shadows of his own making as nothing but mere reality. There is nothing to fear when you have broken free from the shackles of the world.
His work featured at the Work x Play exhibition at the Creative Space of the National Visual Arts Gallery in Kuala Lumpur seemingly charts the artistic pursuits of the everyman, from childhood to adolescence and adulthood; from crayon scribbles and stickman drawings, to more sophisticated observations of the world, war, politics, conflicts, and then some.
