This absolutely simple piece executed by mere ink on paper is a surefire to understand an artist’s expertise in art. With the simplest of mediums, Khalil Ibrahim draws a group of figures in their most organic form, stripped of appearance and identity. Khalil Ibrahim graduated from the prestigious St. Martin’s School of Art & Design, United Kingdom in 1964. He has held solo and group exhibitions in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Switzerland, with most of his works centre around figures and are heavily influenced by East Coast fishermen and women.
