Fazal Rizvi is an interdisciplinary artist from Pakistan. His inquiry rests somewhere between the personal, the social and the political. Having spent a few years thinking about the materiality and immateriality of the sea and its borders, Rizvi also keeps returning to the personal and familial as a place of trigger, and has been contemplating on ideas of mourning, remembering, memorialising and monument making.
Rizvi graduated from the National College of Arts, Lahore in 2010. His work has been shown in various exhibitions including, Sharjah Biennale (2025), Lahore Biennale (2024 & 2018), Jogja Biennale (2023), Photo Kathmandu (2023), Colomboscope (2019) and more. He has been an artist in residence at the Arcus Studios, Japan in 2011, and was the recipient of the Charles Wallace Pakistan Trust award for Gasworks Studios Residency, London in 2014, Pro Helvetia New Delhi Studio residency in Zurich, 2020. He was a resident artist at the Jan van Eyck Academie, Netherlands for the year 2020-21, and at Cite des Arts Paris, with Institute Francaise in 2023. Rizvi has also been a member of The Tentative Collective.
