With the renowned East Coast figures being the preferred theme and hallmark for Khalil Ibrahim, we are presented with a mesmerising acrylic piece of colourful hypnotising women moving across the canvas, seen through the windows or door of a typical kampung wooden house. The employment of bright, enlivening colours creates an overall enthusiastic and energetic mood. Silhouettes of two individuals are situated mainly in the centre, where Khalil’s penchant for the human body is exhibited – he paints the curves, contours and forms expertly.
