작품 상세

In years of active, serious painting, Suzlee Ibrahim is at the head of the queue in moving up the ranks of Malaysia's ermine abstractionists. As the name implies, the Melody Series resonates with musical strains of cheery lilts or sentimentality, depending on the mood at time of painting, intense or elegiac. His other series come with telling titles like Monsoon, Wetlands, Cenang, Poem or Summer - just to mention a few. It is a Long Way to Tipperary, so to speak, and Suzlee's string of awards, residencies, solos and workshops speak for itself. Just a few to mention - Awards: Tokoh Seni: Anugerah Citra Kencana (UKM, 2011); Juror's Award, Rasa Alam (UKM, 2012); Creative Excellence, Emaar Art Symposium (UAE, 2005); Excellent Service, Aswara (2010). Workshop: Tunisia Art Festival, Monastir (2010); Remise Academy, Brande, Denmark (2002). Art camp: Kicevo Art Colony, Macedonia. Not to mention his teaching dedication at the University Mara Institute of Technology, his alma mater, and Aswara. The Sotheby's Hong Kong April 2018 auction sale saw his work sold for HKD 237,500.
