Lot description
The Survival Series reflects the artist's continued interest and concern for wildlife animals. Various species of displaced animals could be seen moving into urban cities. Najib's paintings are created using stencilling techniques and mark making, to bring out a message on the effects of habitat loss. It is vital to conserve wildlife to protect animals from extinction. Painted in a monochrome colour scheme, a lion waits in front of a bus stop, en route to a new journey. Najib graduated with a BFA (Hons), majoring in Painting, from the UiTM in 2010. He secured his Diploma from the Lendu, Malacca, campus in 2008. His awards include the Malacca TYT Action Portrait (2007), finalist in the MRCB Art Award (2008), 2nd Prize in Johor Open (2009), 1st Prize in both the Tanjung Heritage and Nando's competitions (2010) and Visual Arts Award (National Art Gallery, 2011). His solos entitled Pride & Prejudice (2020), Survival (2015), and Great Migration (2012) were held at Taksu Galleries in Kuala Lumpur.
