This work with the trademark fine rhythmic parallel lines by Datuk Ibrahim Hussein was done in conjunction with the performance of the Royal Danish Ballet in Malaysia in June 1985. Five figures in body hugging leotards are shown moving towards left, four with left hand raises upwards. The lines are clean and neat with certain areas revealing accentuations of darker tones. Part of their limbs are etched out against a rectangular board etched with waves of Ibrahim's inimitable lines running horizontally in a viscous flow. The work was done in offset lithograph in edition of 155, with the proceeds of sale going to the Malaysian Red Crescent Society.
With awards like the Crystal Award, participation in the hugely prestigious Venice Biennale in 1970, what with a tripartite exhibition in Kuwait in 1977 with Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, Datuk Ibrahim Hussein is incontrovertibly Malaysia's most internationally iconic artist. Tutelage at Byam Shaw followed by the Royal Academy in London burnished his credentials like no other. Malaysia's National Art Gallery accorded Ib a Retrospective, followed with great fanfare, in 1986. A triple Datuk and awards such as the Anugerah Tokoh Terbilang (2007), the Japan Foundation Cultural Award (1988), the Order of Andres Bello of Venezuela (1993) and the Order of Bernardo O' Higgins of Chile (1996) made him an artist extraordinaire. Ib was also a visionary, setting up the Ibrahim Museum and Cultural Foundation in Langkawi in 2000 and celebrated it with the Langkawi International Festival of Arts. He also organised the Club Mediterranee Asian Arts Festival in Cherating (Pahang) and Bali.
