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. Red, blue, green, white and black forms were applied vigorously, conveying the dynamism of music through expressive movement. 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 in 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.
