Known as the master of printmaking, Juhari Said constantly goes an extra mile in delivering strong messages which often raises concerns about political and social issues. Constantly observing world events, Juhari's ability to create visually striking black and white characters is evident in this imaginative work featuring a dalmatian with a multi coloured tongue.
Juhari Said is one of the finest printmakers in Malaysia today, having mastered the technical aspects of printmaking in Paris in 1993 under the French Government grant and traditional woodblock print under the sensei Yoshisuke Funasaka in Tokyo in 1994 under the Japan Foundation Research Grant. Juhari won the Major Prize (Printmaking) in the 1991-1992 Salon Malaysia for his piece Tiga Cawan Kopi and also the 1990 Permodalan Nasional Bhd Award. In his final year at the Mara Institute of Technology in Shah Alam in 1983 after a first-year foundation stint in Dungun, he chose the difficult technique of woodcut in his final year. He was a Creative Fellow at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang 2008. In 2009, he was awarded the Anugerah Karyawan Seni by the Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry.
