작품 상세

Suzlee's works explore nuanced expressions and emotions through colours, composition, and technique. Suzlee overlays different textures across the surface, featuring bold and rugged strokes, resulting in a painterly effect that has become the defining characteristic of his artworks. A sumptuous palette containing red, yellow, brown and white, with minimal hints of blue were used throughout the canvas in perfect harmony. Suzlee Ibrahim graduated from the Mara Institute of Technology in 1987 but started lecturing in his alma-mater from 1993 to 2009 (part-time 1993-1996), after a stint in advertising. He is now the dean at the National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (Aswara). He has taken part in exhibitions in more than 20 countries including solos in Denmark (Remise Academy, Brande) and Macedonia (Kicevo art colony). In 2010, he took part in the Tunisia Art Festival Workshop in Monastir. He had a mini survey show called, Suzlee Ibrahim: 30 Years Journey in 2016. His awards include: Tokoh Seni Anugerah Citra Kencana UKM in 2011; the Japan-Malaysia Art Friendship Ambassador (2007) and the Emaar Art Symposium Outstanding Creative Excellence Award, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2005).
