As a painter, he began his early career in art studying Graphic Design and later enrolled at UiTM to study Fine Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Using design as the foundation of his artwork, Sabri expresses himself using a wide spectrum of mediums and techniques. Doing away with the proverbial canvas and brush, he uses galvanized irons, aluminium, zinc, wax and epoxy resin to express himself. In his fourth solo exhibition entitled Keroncong Series, Sabri Idrus explores the indeterminate labyrinth between painting and music. This exhibition showcases three sets of artworks, which have resulted from the moulding of different layers of epoxy resin.<\/p>\n<p>Keroncong is a musical style that originated from Java in the 15th century. The music has since played a large role in the development of local and traditional contemporary music. Keroncong is also considered an idiomatic response to a feeling, which is sublime, yet unresolved. The artwork shares a mutual atonality with the music through the resonance of layered monochromatic tones that are frozen in time. This is depicted by the fluid compositions of epoxy resin. The layers intertwine as if in a natural environment reacting and changing through time, gravitational forces and chemical reactions. But, like oil and water, they will never amalgamate. Sabri\u2019s works therefore represent that split second where painting and music fuses, frozen in a momentary lapse of time. His works have reached a stage where he allows chance and coincidence to play their own role.<\/p>\n<p>In using a material like epoxy resin which has a \u2018mind of it\u2019s own\u2019 Sabri has allowed his works to take a course of their own. Keroncong Series tries to liberate the social and cultural dogmas associated with new forms of art. There lies the soul to his works and to the ambivalent term of \u2018physical listening\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031{\nheight:35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"\u201cArt and industrial material\u201d by Lim Chia Ying\" href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/portfolio-item\/art-and-industrial-material-by-lim-chia-ying\/\"><strong>&#8220;Art and industrial material&#8221; by Lim Chia Ying<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"\u201cSongs for the eye\u201d by J.
