The universal theme of wildlife conservation is highlighted in the works of Issarezal Ismail. Using an array of pop elements and subdued tones, intricate layers of animal images are formed on the canvas. A combination of umber colours and flat pictorial space results in a contemporary vision of wildlife preservation and nature.
