Ahmad Fuad Osman (born 1969) also known as Fuad, is a contemporary artist and painter in Malaysia [1] known for installation art inspired by social and cultural changes. [2] He is one of the founding members of the artist collective Matahati, formed in 1991, [3] which played a role in the development of Malaysian contemporary art. [4] He currently works and resides in Kuala Lumpur.

In 1998, Fuad joined protests around the firing of Anwar Ibrahim. [5] The National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur organized a mid-career survey of his work in 2019–20. [6] [7] All artwork in this survey was approved by the museum, but on January 31 four artworks were removed allegedly due to being politically obscene. [8]
