Malaysian artist shifts from installations to faceless collages in debut solo show

There are no neon safety vests, thermal blankets, or barbed-wire fences in sight at award-winning artist Zulkefli Jais’ first solo exhibition.

For the Teluk Intan, Perak-born artist, best known for his large-scale installations, it’s perhaps the first time he hasn’t had to worry about measurements, scaffolding, or the logistics of taking over an entire gallery space.

The past two years have been eventful for Zulkefli, who clinched the National Art Gallery’s Young Contemporary Major Award (Bakat Muda Sezaman 2023) with his Project Temporary Marking installation. The work was later featured at the gallery’s Single exhibition series last year before travelling to the 2024 Gwangju Biennale in South Korea. Earlier this year, Zulkefli unveiled a new work, Anything But Prison, at the reopening of Galeri PETRONAS in Kuala Lumpur.
