Slide to the video to hear Hamir touch on how his time as a backdrop painter at Istana Budaya taught him the trompe l'oeil skills we see in.

Hamir Soib (Born ) was active/lived in Malaysia.

Hamir Soib's works in the early s leaned towards expressionism.

Hamir's ability to paint these immersive works was thanks to his time working as a backdrop painter at Istana Budaya (KL's national theatre).

Through the regular production of seminal paintings, such as Pillihan, Sepat O Sepat, Ahad, MashAllah, The Four Quls, Auctionland and Hot Seat, he has marked himself out as one of the most important artists of his generation.

Exposing his uncensored inner thoughts in a decidedly surrealist style, Hamir infuses his paintings with a dream-like aura. The layers of skill, concept and paint involved in his aesthetic means the production of his works are limited.

The intellectualism behind his creative practice, coupled with the rarity of his monolithic works, result in a portfolio of groundbreaking paintings that are a firm favorite with critics and collectors of contemporary Malaysian art alike.

 

Born on December 25^th, 1969, Hamir grew up in Muar, Johor, before deciding to pursue a degree in Fine Art at UiTM.

It was at university that he met Ahmad Fuad Osman, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed, Bayu Utomo Radjikin and Masnoor Ramli, w
