Title: Burning Forest
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Dimension: 80cm X 80cm
Artist: Ahmad Shukri Mohamed the Matahati Group
Acquisition Date: 21 Dec 2012
My 1st art acquisition, an approx 80cm X 80cm oil/acrylic on canvas entitled Burning Forest, by leading Malaysian contemporary visual artist, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed from the Matahati Group on 21 December 2012 - a Mayan dooms day - How appropriate considering that it is a burning forest painting!.
Below are photographs of me with the painter, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed (carrying my son, Ian Zuhayr). The second photo shows me trying to impress Shukri with my own oil on canvas work (The Trio). His only comment was "You are a Pop-Surrealist artist". Not sure to what extent was his sincerity but it was good enough that he did not say anything negative, even if he was just being polite or patronising.
