Haffendi Anuar (b. 1985, Malaysia) is an artist based in Kuala Lumpur. He produces sculptures, paintings, installations and drawings. He initially studied at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence and completed his BA Honors at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Haffendi’s multidisciplinary practice mines history of art, digital technology, nature and local contexts to create object-based works that recycle found images, objects and artistic styles from digital and physical sources.
Haffendi is the joint winner for the first outdoor sculpture commission for the Battersea power station development in partnership with the Cass Sculpture Foundation in 2017. His recent institutional exhibitions include Personal Structures (2017) by the European Cultural Centre, Palazzo Bembo, Venice, The Unreal Deal, Six Decades of Malaysian Abstract Art (2017), Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
