About Juhari Said

Juhari Said (b. 1961, Malaysia) is a contemporary printmaker widely recognized for his black-and-white prints and carved woodblocks. After graduating from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in 1983, he studied traditional Japanese printmaking under the renowned Japanese artist, Yoshisuke Funasaka. Juhari has held several solo exhibitions over the years, including Death of a Princess (1983), Garden Series (1985), Baju Kurung dan Secawan Kopi (1983), Kilimanjaro in Nagasaki (1995) and Katak Nak Jadi Lembu (2003). In 2005, after 23 years of printmaking, Juhari expanded his vision and produced artworks that are no longer prints procured from a block of wood but the actual woodblocks themselves. Focusing on the form and the surface, he began to explore sculptural artwork showcasing the carved wooden blocks in collaboration with Wei-Ling Gallery during his solo exhibition, OKIR (2007). With his open and exploratory approach to art, Juhari continues to experiment with different techniques and materials, even taking wood carving techniques and applying it onto ceramics.
