Speakcryptic aka Farizwan Fajari is a visual artist working and living in Singapore.
He graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts with a Degree in Fine Arts majoring in Painting in 2007. He has exhibited extensively in Singapore since 2005 and has also shown his works in other parts of the world. He was one of the participating artists for “The Singapore Show: Future Proof”, an exhibition showcasing the works of “young artists whose innovative and unique practices have generated attention and accolades in various art circles”, held at the Singapore Art Museum @ 8Q in 2012.
He also plays the electric bass for local bands I Am David Sparkle and Concave Scream.
Inspired by the visual language prevalent within the cultures of comics and underground music, his works primarily deals with the issues pertaining to the human condition. Utilising personal iconographies and a cast of characters that he has developed over the years, he applies them to various narratives inspired by his observations on current affairs and his immediate environment. His works are essentially a product of a society that he personally feels as one that is currently "without much empathy, plagued by narcissists". Read Less
