This special combination of a batik collage plays layered tones on abstract objects and printed materials, using Indisol dyes. Khalil Ibrahim has dabbled with batik art since 1968. This work was created by both intent and ‘accidents’ and which partly recalls his abstract works during the 1960s.

Khalil graduated from the prestigious St. Martin’s School of Art and Design in London in 1964. His career spans four decades with many solo and group exhibitions held in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Switzerland. His works are held in the collection of National Visual Arts Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, National Museum of Art, Singapore, Fukuoka Museum of Art, Japan, New South Wales Museum of Art, Sydney and Royal National Art Gallery of Jordan.
