Fauzin Mustaffa defined his artistic repertoire early, beginning with the ‘mixed media’ theme of the Young Contemporaries Competition in 1987. That same year, with a group of like-minded individuals (Hasnul J Saidon, Mohd Noor Mahmud, and Taufik Abdullah), Fauzin exhibited mixed media works under the joint title 4 Persepsi. The group’s goals were simple: to challenge the conventional rules regarding painting (and art of the time). The exhibition came as a result of the group’s efforts – producing set designs – for the Centrestage Theatre group (years later, another young group of artists, Matahati, would follow this same path).
