As one of Malaysia’s most versatile artists, Khalil Ibrahim’s ability to execute various subject matters from landscape to figurative and abstraction in different media propelled him to excel at an early age. Created in 1968, this idyllic landscape of tropical greenery and a kampung house is a fine example of his proficiency in watercolour. Khalil Ibrahim won a Pahang State scholarship to study at the St Martins School of Art in London where he graduated with a National Diploma of Design in 1963 and followed up with a postgraduate study. On his return, he was relieved of his contract and he had been a fulltime artist since September 1966. He was given a double solo of his London works and Malaysian batik paintings at the Samat Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 1970. He was the first Malaysian to have a solo in Indonesia in 1970. He co-founded the Malaysian Watercolour Society. His major solo shows included Khalil Ibrahim: The Art Journey in Petaling Jaya (2015), and Khalil Ibrahim: A Continued Dialogue at Galeri Petronas, Kuala Lumpur in 2004. He has also been featured in major national exhibitions abroad.
