The work of Yusri Sulaiman is a self-reflection; he expresses his thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and motivations through the medium of acrylic. His works act as a metaphor for his life; from childhood to adulthood, he is inspired by himself as a shy boy, rebellious youth and finally a confident family man. Illustrated here is a young cub, which feeds into the apt title, ‘Young Hunter (Grace), 2005, symbolising the journey of life and the cubs introduction to hunting, echoing the artist’s subconscious intentions and ambitions of his life.
