A graduate from New York and California with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, he has exhibited his work extensively across the United States and also shown his monumental sculptures in Spain, Canada, The Netherlands, United Kindgom, Jordan, Hong Kong and other parts of the world. Award winning Peii had also been commissioned by institutions such as National Galleries and Museums around the world to install his artworks into public spaces for a shared experience.<\/p>\n<p>Influenced by the school of Constructivism, Peii\u2019s work explores the idea of space. As his monumental artworks convey no associative, discoursing or literal meanings, the ideology is similar to how music, movement in dance and order in nature are created. Peii uses the term \u201cForm Unknown\u201d, for the varied shapes and structures of his sculptures, viewable from all vantage points. As Peii has adopted the ideology of Constructivism in creating his very own colossal art pieces, legendary artists including Naum Gabo, Max Bill and Paul Klee continue to inspire him.<\/p>\n<p>Constructivism originated from Russia in 1919, the manifested dogma came from artists such as Alexander Rodchenko and Vladimir Tatlin. Their aim was to construct not only beautiful art work but also to bring art into public spaces, so that art would serve not just the aesthetics of a few but also provide to the community. This ideology significantly swayed Ahmad Osni Peii when he started creating his \u201cThree Dimensional Art\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Breaching away from a wonted artist\u2019s studio, this intellectual sculptor produces pieces which challenge paintings on canvas, with their nonfigurative forms symbolizing unity, joined in harmony with the idea of wholeness, a concept of gestalt. Although there are now many metal and steel sculptors, Peii\u2019s art distinctly explores the creation of the Universe in an abstract format. Due to the Islamic philosophy, his creations of art are nonrepresentational and do not imitate or resemble actual objects.<br \/>\nUsing geometric visual elements of lines, plane, space, solid, void, concave, convex, etc. which he calls \u2018formal allegory\u2019, Peii\u2019s pieces render the turbulent, arresting and enthralling nature and magnitude of the universe in a truthful and appreciative manner. He makes art for the public, engaging them in a kaleidoscopic interplay, where they are entranced by the geometry and transparency of his \u201cThree Dimensional Art\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The artist has not had an exhibition in Malaysia for over a decade , so this exhibition will be much anticipated.<br \/>\n\u2018Form Unknown Made\u2019 a solo exhibition by Ahmad Osni Peii features at Wei-Ling Contemporary from June 6th 2012- July 1st 2012.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wei-Ling Contemporary is located at G212 Ground Floor, The Gardens Mall, Kuala Lumpur 59200, Malaysia.<br \/>\nPls call 03-22828323 or email weilingart@gmail.com for more information.<br \/>\nWei-Ling Contemporary is open Daily from 11am-9pm.<br \/>\nPlease visit www.weiling-gallery.com for more details.<br \/>\nAdmission is Free.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031{\nheight:35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Forms-Unknown-Made-Ahmad-Osnei-Peii.pdf\">&#8216;Forms Unknown Made&#8217; by Ahmad Osni Peii<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/fum-catalogue.pdf\">View online catalogue<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":4335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[4],"class_list":["post-4378","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-exhibitions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/4378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4378"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=4378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
