Ismadi Sallehudin is an artist from Raub, Pahang with over 20 years of experience in the arts industry. He graduated with a Fine Art degree from UiTM, Kuala Lumpur, in 1994. He also obtained his master’s degree in Art and Design from De Montfort University, UK, in 1999. The expression of colours is very important to Sallehudin. His works are accidental in that he uses different techniques like scratching on the canvas, splashing of colours, quick strokes of the brush strokes, spontaneous brush flow and combinations of other techniques. Sallehudin explores the process of paint, using the human form as a vehicle to create emotion. Life, death, change and time are predominant themes running through his works. Besides painting, Sallehudin is also adept in etching, drawing and monotype print. His works have been exhibited extensively at home and abroad.
