Description
This work was done during the artist’s study period in London between 1960 and 1965. He studied for his NDD (National Diploma of Design) in Fine Arts at St. Martins School of Art from 1960-63. He stayed at Malayan Hall then with Ibrahim Hussein, who was studying at Byam Shaw School of Art. The work is an exploratory excursion into abstracts as the artist had explained, “...because that was the vogue”, with the interplay of organic and geometric forms, focusing on colours and shapes.
