South East Asian Paintings 

Whilst not an expert on paintings, we do have a small collection of South East Asian paintings, namely watercolours by A.B Ibrahim.

A.B Ibrahim also known as Ibrahim Abu Bakar was a pioneering watercolour artist of Malaysia alongside artists such as Yong Mun Sen.

He was a founder member of  the Society of Malay Artists, Malaya which was formed in Singapore in the 1950s. The Society exhibited their members’ paintings at the British Embassy in Singapore.

His watercolours are extremely colourful depicting the much slower paced of lifestyle in rural and coastal landscapes. Out of our small but growing collection, this is our favourite:-

    I purchased two Cesar Buenaventura signed oil paintings in 1970 at the Clark AFB Officers Club Art Show. I still have these paintings in my house. As I am retiring and downsizing to a smaller house, I am thinking about selling these two paintings. Could I email you pictures of the paintings and could you give me some idea what they are worth?

    Should refer to experts before purchasing Ibrahim’s works especially on internet. Fakes keep coming to the market, day by day.

    Even big galleries were fooled by these fakers. Old fakes which were made during the late 60′s or early 70′s were more confusing.
