Born in Kelantan in 1969. Having obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from MARA (UiTM) in 1992, Shukri is today one of the leaders in ground-breaking contemporary art in Malaysia, and has exhibited extensively world-wide. Not confined by style, material or subject matter, he revels in forming multi-layered collages with oil paint, canvas, paint and paper.

Ahmad Shukri is, without doubt, one of the leading contemporary artists in Malaysia. Many of his works not only profess a profound respect and love for nature but also serve to highlight the pressing need to protect and nurture the environment and the increasingly delicate balance of our eco-system.
