      • Zakaria Ali (b. Negeri Sembilan, 1946) Homage To Orozco, 1976
        Jul. 17, 2022

        Zakaria Ali (b. Negeri Sembilan, 1946) Homage To Orozco, 1976

        Est: RM8,000 - RM16,000

        On offer here, the artist drew the great Mexican muralist Orozco in his usual style. For all his redoubtable skills on paper and canvas, Professor Zakaria Ali had few solos, including the third being his Retrospective (1971-1999) at The Art Gallery in Penang on Jan 31-Feb 13, 1999. It says much that his first solo was at the Pan Art Gallery, Fondren Square, Houston in 1969! Then followed a solo on his return, in 1982, at the Universiti Sains Malaysia, where he taught for many years before moving on to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and then Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris in Tanjung Malim. His credentials are impeccable, with a double Masters: BFA Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, Massachusetts; Masters (Art) Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, 1973; Masters (Art History), Universidad de las Americanas, Mexico (1974); PhD Harvard University (1984-1988). He was awarded the Tokoh Novel in 2006. His books include Empangan and Villa Maya (both novels); Islamic Art In Southeast Asia (1994); Alif Ba Ta: The Life and Times of Ahmad Khalid Yusof (2004); and Abdullah Ariff.

      • Zakaria Ali (b. 1946) Penyanyi Jalanan, 2005
        Mar. 24, 2019

        Zakaria Ali (b. 1946) Penyanyi Jalanan, 2005

        Est: RM12,000 - RM20,000

        The heart-tugging melody of the itinerant blind busker stirred in artist-writer-academician Zakaria Ali’s conscience long after he strutted past him in Penang Road, instead of stopping to give alms as he usually would. Was he in such a tearing hurry, has he become callous and jaded? After all, a core principle of Islam, like in the An-Nawawi, is to help the less fortunate. With the sudden pang of guilt, Zakaria decided to paint about the plight of the blind singer strumming an electric guitar while singing with a music box beside him. As passers-by come and go, his only ‘audience’ seems to be a boy clad only in his Bermuda more curious than enthralled, while a man in a hat stands behind in a corner enjoying the free entertainment. Zakaria could have written about it too, but preferred the brush as he is adept in figures being trained in the best tradition of the great Mexican muralists Rivera and Orozco. For Zakaria being a novelist-poet-art historian-educator-artist-curator, it may become as a surprise that he is making his auction debut in Henry Butcher. For all his redoubtable skills on paper and canvas, Professor Zakaria Ali has had three solos, the third being his Retrospective (1971-99) at The Art Gallery in Penang on Jan 31-Feb 13, 1999. It says much that his first solo was at the Pan Art Gallery, Fondren Square, Houston in 1969! Then followed a solo on his return, in 1982, at the Universiti Sains Malaysia, where he taught for many years before moving on to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and then Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris in Tanjung Malim. His credentials are impeccable, with a double Masters: BFA Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, Massachusetts; Masters (Art) Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, 1973; Masters (Art History), Universidad de las Americanas, Mexico (1974); PhD Harvard University (1984-88). He was awarded the Tokoh Novel in 2006. His books include Empangan and Villa Maya (both novels); Islamic Art In South-east Asia (1994); Alif Ba Ta: The Life and Times of Ahmad Khalid Yusof (2004); and Abdullah Ariff (1904-2004).
