Description
In this wonderful scene, the artist captures an ingenious fishing device, framed by the clear blue skies and water. The atmosphere is skilfully captured with the use of soft, earthy colours to evoke an impression of peace and tranquillity. A.B. Ibrahim held a solo exhibition in Dewan Besar Perniagaan Cina, Ipoh in 1962. Group exhibitions include exhibitions of Persatuan Pelukis Melayu, Singapore (1945-1970), Penang Trade Fair (1948), and 4th Malayan Artists Association Exhibition, British Council, Kuala Lumpur (1958). He was the founder member of Persatuan Pelukis Melayu, Malaya based in Singapore.
