Suzlee Ibrahim (b. Terengganu, 1967) Melody Series: Red Flowers, 2009
Est: RM14,000 - RM28,000
Superstar Madonna put her thoughts and experiences into music in nearly 200 songs, and Suzlee Ibrahim was inspired by her songs to turn the rhythm, modulations and melody into his art series which he called Melody. So enamoured, Suzlee transformed the energy, character and auralscape of the Queen of Pop into a visual tribute drawing on his own abstract repertoire, and here in liberal doses of red with black markings all over. Music and Visual Art have been symbiotic, and the theory of synasthesia had impacted Klee and Kandinsky, and Kandinsky even wrote the groundbreaking Concerning The Spirituality in Art. This is the second time the Melody Series had come into HB auction, the first being Spirit Like The Fire (2009). Suzlee has a dedicated abstract journey, and his other series are Monsoon, Wetlands, Cenang, Poem, Summer, Pulau Pangkor, Sahara, Belantara, Batik, Ombak, Sakura, Movement, Space, Turquoise, Meditation, Waterfalls and Gestures. Artist-academician Suzlee Ibrahim is, without doubt, one of the most important abstract artists under 60 in Malaysia today, with 40 solos in countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, Japan, Macedonia, Taiwan, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Hong Kong and Indonesia. He has never looked back since his first solo, Movement, at the Shah Alam Gallery in 1998, and he celebrated with a mini-retrospective called 30-Years Journey, at The Art People Gallery in July-September 2016. He holds the Malasyia Book of Records for the longest painting, for The Poem (2010-2015), measuring 5 feet x 60 feet. He is the dean of faculty of fine art at the National Academy of Arts and Culture (Aswara), Kuala Lumpur, after teaching at the Mara Institute of Technology for 16 years. His awards include the Tokoh Seni Anugerah Citra Kencana UKM (2011), the Japan-Malaysia Art Friendship Ambassador (2007), and the Emaar Art Symposium Outstanding Creative Excellence Award, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2005). He was also awarded 2nd Prize in the Monastir Festival in Tunisia in 2019 and the Zervas Art gold medal in the Paris Art Symposium in 2020.

Suzlee Ibrahim (b. 1967) Sakura Series - Red Sakura II, 2008
Est: RM30,000 - RM50,000
Suzlee Ibrahim has done several memorable series but his Sakura Series seems to capture the imagination most. It was done in his studio on his return from Japan, where he watched the Sakura Festival at Ueno Park in Tokyo where there are often more than 1,000 cherry trees. There were many people with great expectations, some even picnicking. It was a mesmerizing spring, the sakura blooms, but Suzlee interprets it as a great beauty of Nature - a hanami (viewing and smelling flowers) ritual, and a sign of life and vivacity. And the impermanence, how everything will evanesce, until next spring. The cherry blossoms spectacle are different all over Japan - January in Okinawa and peaking in late March or April in Honshu. Suzlee goes for a platter of blobs and splatters with dominant red against white and black streaks and stains, like a Pollockian drip. Suzlee Ibrahim has taught for 26 years, first at his alma mater Universiti ITM (graduated 1987) and then Aswara, and was awarded the Tokoh Seni Citra Kencana UKM in 2011 and the Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang Aswara in 2010. He had also won the Japan-Malaysia Art Friendship Ambassador Award (2007) and the Emaar Art Symposium Outstanding Creative Excellence Award, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2005).

His other series come with telling titles like Monsoon, Wetlands, Cenang, Poem or Summer â€“ just to mention a few. It is a Long Way to Tipperary, so to speak, and Suzlee's string of awards, residencies, solos and workshops speak for itself. Just a few to mention â€” Awards: Tokoh Seni: Anugerah Citra Kencana (UKM, 2011); Juror's Award, Rasa Alam (UKM, 2012); Creative Excellence, Emaar Art Symposium (UAE, 2005); Excellent Service, Aswara (2010).
