For Dato’ Tajuddin the work of art is the visual manifestation of the artist’s intellectual journey. In this context, his work reflects his admiration for the great french artist Henri Matisse and the way he sees an installation of flowers in a certain setting. Both are executed in his signature style, blocks of colors and geometric shapes are united to form a vibrant composition. Dato’ Tajuddin graduated in Graphic Design at the Art Centre College of Design in Los Angeles, the United States, in 1974. He did his Post-graduate Interior Architecture at the Pratt Institute in New York in 1979-81. His accolades include the Major Award, National Drawing Competition in 1977; Minor Award, National Graphic Art, National Art Gallery, 1978; Minor Award, Salon Malaysia, 1979; and Minor Award, National Design Council, 1994. He set up TJ Fine Art in 2004. After teaching at the University Mara Institute of Technology for several years, he joined Sunway University as Fine Arts Department Associate Professor and Academic Adviser.
