Samsudin creates iconic images that are satirical and nostalgic to explore the events and issues happening in our daily lives. Drawing inspiration from the circus act, pop imagery, posters and comics, Samsudin's theatrical images are neatly executed, often featuring caricatures merged with familiar objects. He constantly experiments with various mediums to develop new effects. In Self Portrait As The Patriot, the artist is caricaturised into a puppet like character with a wide smile (while biting a creature), long nose, and closed eyes, finely dressed in suit and tie. Samsudin Wahab achieved double success in 2009 when he won the Malaysian Emerging Artist Award and was chosen resident-artist at Rimbun Dahan. He was chosen as resident-artist at HOM in April-June 2008. He was supported by Khazanah Nasional in his India residency in 2010. In 2013, he won the Juror's Award in the Young Contemporary Artists competition. He won 2nd Prize in Goethe Institut's Salon Meets Art in 2007, and a Consolation Prize in the Tanjong Heritage competition in 2005. He received his BFA, Majoring in Printmaking at the Mara Institute of Technology in 2005-2007, and a Diploma at its Seri Iskandar campus in 2002-2005.
