Artist Statement/Commentary
IN 1993, I first lectured in MARA University of Technology, at the Faculty of Art and Design (Foundation Course), with emphasis on the topic of Element and Principle of Design. Within the duration as a lecturer, I managed to do some research in my spare time to acquire in-depth knowledge and understanding about the topic mentioned above. I discovered that MOVEMENT was not only interesting, but is also an essential element in any artwork. After 2 years of research, in 1995, I finally developed the MOVEMENT SERIES, and it is continuously perfected to date. From my point of view, Movement is Life, every living thing moves.
-Suzlee Ibrahim, KL 2001 THE paintings that are on show are acrylics, finished with oil bar. He first acquainted himself with the oil bar in England and gladly found his style and the oil bar complementary. His publicist says that most of Suzlee paintings have a strong expressionistic slant, suggested by the spontaneous brush stroke. The artist has also found himself replacing his brushes and palette knife with other malleable objects. Suzlee also replaces his dominant brush strokes using repeated lines. The result is a totally different style but with essence of his previous works. Suzlees art is collected by serious collectors and public figures.
