작품 상세

Suzlee's canvases are shaped by his travels, as well as his engagement with the natural environment and surrounding physical landscapes. His abstract expressionist works are created with instinctive brushwork and bold textures. In this work, the surface is richly layered with calming blue tones, heightened by confident black strokes that add depth and movement. 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 lecturing 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, at The Art People Gallery in Klang, from July to September 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). Sotheby's Hong Kong April 2018 auction sale saw his work sold for HKD 237,500.
