Farhan Rizuwan

Farhan Rizuwan is a Malaysian sculptor and emerging contemporary artist who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Hons.) in Sculpture from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam. Based in Shah Alam, his artistic practice focuses on transforming everyday furniture, particularly dining chairs into sculptural forms that engage with themes of anthropomorphism, human identity, and emotional experience. Farhan’s works explore the symbolic and narrative potential of ordinary objects by reconstructing dining chairs to reflect human bodily gestures and the dynamic relationship between function and form. Inspired by human movement, his series of sculptures position the chair as a personal metaphor that embodies human presence. Through his sculptural practice, Farhan invites audiences to reflect on themes of transformation and the evolution of human existence. Each series investigates how furniture (chairs) can be deconstructed and anthropomorphized to express emotional states, bodily gestures, and the shifting interplay between form, function, and identity. Farhan began his artistic journey in Shah Alam, Selangor, and has since actively participated in exhibitions across Malaysia.
