Datuk Ibrahim Hussein never fails to captivate art enthusiasts by proving his mastery in abstract, which is often deemed futuristic due to the complexity in the way he expresses the forms and dimensions of his creation. His main medium was one he devised himself and called “printage”—a combination of printing and collage. This particular art piece enraptures its audience with perfect lines, and purposeful strokes.
