Lot description

Suzlee Ibrahim has done several memorable series, but his Sakura Series seems to capture the imagination most. The composition is created with a palette of red, blue, and white forms, reinforced with forceful black strokes. A profusion of bold colours was employed to showcase rhythmic 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 has retired from 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.
