Ilham Fadhil

In 2003, Ilham Fadhil graduated with a Degree in Fine Arts from UiTM Shah Alam in Malaysia. Subsequently, he has frequently exhibited in galleries across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor and most recently took up a term as the 16th Artist in Residence at Rimbun Dahan from 2010 to 2011. Ilham’s work addresses contemporary issues through an absurdist or surrealistic narrative. His collages often incorporate delicate figures, dramatic colours and the use of scale to create these narratives and invite the viewer to discuss the issues raised. Most recently, Ilham’s works have been featured in the Rimbun Dahan Artist in Residence Show (Rimbun Dahan, Selangor, Malaysia, 2011), SPICE Show (PACE Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2010) and the MATAHATI Art Triangle (National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2010).
