작품 상세

A leading figure in Malaysian abstraction, Sharifah Fatimah Syed Zubir is known for her dynamic exploration of movement, colour and spatial energy. In Dancing Light, vibrant planes of blue, red and green animate a darkened ground, creating a powerful sense of rhythm and motion. Executed during a mature phase of her career, this work exemplifies the artist’s signature approach to abstraction, where colour and form interact with musicality and controlled spontaneity. Dancing Light stands as a strong and desirable example of Sharifah Fatimah’s abstract practice, underscoring her enduring appeal among collectors of Southeast Asian contemporary art. Dato’ Sharifah was a former student of UiTM (Universiti Teknologi MARA), Malaysia, Reading University in England and Pratt Institute in the United States respectively. Whilst curating at the National Art Gallery in 1982 for seven years, she was awarded the Salon Malaysia Competition’s Major Award and the Minor Award in the Young Contemporary Artists Competition as well.
