Artistic career

After moving to the Principality of Liechtenstein, FauZie As'Ad attracted attention through several solo exhibitions. In 1997 he was the first artist to receive a cultural grant from the Verwaltungs- und Privat-Bank AG in Vaduz (Liechtenstein). This not only enabled him to study trips to Paris, London and Berlin, but also to work for several months at the Luigi Corsanini Laboratory of Sculpture in Carrara (Italy). There, in the marble quarries, he studied marble working with the Liechtenstein sculptor Hugo Marxer. The most important work of this creative period is the 2.40 meter high sculpture "Spring Awakening". The factory has stood in front of the VP Bank headquarters in the center of Vaduz below the Princely Palace since 1998.
After exhibitions in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Senegal and Germany, he received a cultural grant from the cultural advisory board of the government of the Principality of Liechtenstein in 2000, which enabled him to continue working in Carrara. After that, in 2001, she took part in the 1st and 2nd International Sculpture Symposium Stones Without Borders . His works "Ying & Yang" have since been in Hobrechtsfelde near Berlin-Buch and Mühlendorf near Teltow.
The main work to date is his "World Altar for Peace & Friendship" in the Changchun International Sculpture Park, Julin Province (China). It was created in 2004 during the 7th International Sculpture Symposium in Changchun. Because of its unique working conditions, the symposium is considered the most renowned stone carving symposium worldwide. FauZie As'Ad was the first artist to be invited from Liechtenstein and the second Indonesian after Dicky Chandra. The world altar consists of five granite steles, 333 cm high, representing the continents, which are arranged around a planted pentagon, the tree of life.
In 2012, FauZie As'Ad's design "Mens sana in corpore sano" for a sculpture on the subject of movement / mobility of body and mind won the award of the Schellenberg Municipal Council (Liechtenstein). "Art in architecture" was advertised for the new Kneipp fountain in the sports and leisure facility there. For this purpose he created a 360 cm high marble sculpture in the workshops of Carrara. The work remained the last work as a sculptor for six years, as he became seriously ill afterwards.
From 2013–2017 he participated in exhibitions in Liechtenstein, Indonesia and Japan from his studio holdings.
For 2018 FauZie As'Ad received an invitation to the 2nd BBKL Triennial (Triennial of the Professional Association of Visual Artists of Liechtenstein), for which he realized the partially gilded granite sculpture "LICHT 'N STEIN".
In addition to his work as a sculptor, FauZie As'Ad created an independent painterly work. He has mastered the technique of oil painting, which he mainly uses for private portraits. Most of his paintings are created in acrylic on canvas. However, these images are also biographical and contain references to the place and time of origin. "The appearance of the works of art is therefore related to where I am. In the pictures, certain parts appear dynamic and others appear more harmonious, in every picture there are two opposing sides. I owe one side to Liechtenstein and the other to Indonesia. My works of art reflect opposing poles two countries in which I live, "he said in an interview in 2012. As'Ad's paintings are characterized by areas of color that are sometimes interspersed with imaginary characters. There are also symbolic graphic representations with which As'Ad tells stories.
As'Ad is one of the most famous contemporary artists in Indonesia. He exhibits at many group exhibitions on Indonesian contemporary art (including Bad Pyrmont 2002, Berlin 2003 and 2004, China 2003, Liechtenstein 2012) and is regularly represented at the Jogja Biennale in Yogyakarta. He also represents the Principality of Liechtenstein as an artist (including Bad Ragatz 2006, Monaco 2011, BBKL Triennale 2015), which made it possible for him to receive an artist-in-residence grant in his Berlin studio in 2008. His works aim to integrate Indonesian and Southeast Asian motifs and themes into contemporary western painting and sculpture.
