AHMAD ZAKII ANWAR



He was born in 1955 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia; he lives and works in Kuala Lumpur and
 Johor Bahru.
  
He is a graduate of the School of Art and Design, MARA Institute of Technology Malaysia. 
He is lauded for capturing not just city motifs and urban features but also a distinctive psychological dimension and cinematic quality in these scenarios. Zakii’s preoccupation 
with the spiritual or metaphysical aspects of urban life is seen through his use of icons, 
symbols and allegories. Metaphors of theatre, performance and masks have also marked his practice. As well as his frequent one person exhibitions he has featured in group exhibition in many countries including South Korea, USA, Myanmar and Mexico
