Datuk Ibrahim Hussein Dies

Artist Ibrahim Hussein dies
KUALA LUMPUR: Artist Datuk Ibrahim Hussein, affectionately known as “Ib,” died of a heart attack at the Pantai Medical Centre here at 4am Thursday. He was 72-years-old.
He leaves behind wife Sim Hussein and daughter Alia. His funeral is expected to be held this afternoon.
The widely-recognised artist is perhaps better known outside Malaysia, with one international critic describing abstract work as “futuristic and it is through a distinctive ordering of lines that he expresses differing complexities of form and dimensions.”
Ib used a medium he called “‘printage”’ - a mixture of printing and collage.
He was also founder of the Ibrahim Hussein Museum and Cultural Foundation in Langkawi.

Alfatehah buat Datuk Ibrahim Hussein yang meninggal dunia. Unexpected but a big lost to the country. Although i met him only once for dinner at the bankers club together with his wife Datin Sim Hussein long time ago I describe him as a very humble man. He has got a very unik hairstyle. I didn't know most of them at the dinner table but because I was invited by my close friend I jsut followed. Most of the guest were VIP's Sultan Pahang's daughter & her husband were also sitted at our table. lama dah cerita ni lebih kurang 10 years ago I don't keep intouch anymore coz I'm hardly in KL but still saddened by the news.
