The picturesque villages enveloped by greenery form a major part in A.J. Rahman's oeuvre. Rendered with light and uplifting colours, the atmospheric scene is enlivened by the artist's deft brushwork. He imparts a feeling of peace and serenity through his observations of life near a river stream, surrounded by trees and vegetation. A.J. Rahman, together with A.B. Ibrahim and Saidin Yahaya, formed a group named Tiga Serangkai which was the start of the art history in Kedah. In 1946, the trio opened up their art studio called Warna Art Studio located in Pekan Rabu, Alor Setar. Besides being an artist, A.J. Rahman was also a school teacher.
