This work depicts the peaceful countryside, with the presence of light illuminating the sky, deeply enhancing the sensation of nature and its moods. Rendered with confident brushstrokes, and beautiful colours of green and yellow hues, the overall impression given by the painting is that of a detailed study of nature. Painting trees silhouetted against the sky with graceful strokes, the artist creates the effects of a warm day casting shadows across the valley, recording his impressions of the scene. Khalil Ibrahim is one of Malaysia’s most gifted artist dexterous in all media and a great colourist versatile in figures and landscapes. He won a Pahang State scholarship to study at the St Martins School of Art in London where he graduated with a National Diploma of Design in 1963 and followed up with a postgraduate study. On his return, he was relieved of his contract and he had been a fulltime artist since September 1966. He was given a double solo of his London works and Malaysian batik paintings at the Samat Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 1970. He was the first Malaysian to have a solo in Indonesia in 1970. He co-founded the Malaysian Watercolour Society. His major solo shows included Khalil Ibrahim: The Art Journey in Petaling Jaya (2015), and Khalil Ibrahim: A Continued Dialogue at Galeri Petronas, Kuala Lumpur in 2004. He has also been featured in major national exhibitions abroad. Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers dedicated its booth paying tribute to Khalil Ibrahim in Art Expo Malaysia 2018.
