These abstract paintings use thick acrylic mixed with an encaustic wax medium or modelling paste. Colors are applied by the artist with brushes, palette knives and hands. The paint is often thrown at the canvas. The use of water sprayed blends the paint wildly and with great force around the canvas. It is scraped, wiped off with rags and reapplied repeatedly, building layers and adding needed smudges. Sometimes a dash of yellow ochre or burnt sienna is included to accentuate different sections of the work. The high energy with which these works were made pushes the boundaries of two-dimensional space and seems to rise off the canvas to meet the viewer. This series of inderapura paintings was started/beg since 1994 (manjalara series) and still continues until today in different series.
With his quite unique style and natural ability to be continually creative, Ismadi's abstract art paintings have been widely publicised and exhibited and earned his one-man shows both in the Malaysia and the abroad.
"Employing design in its simplest forms, madi's images invite viewers to share boundless pictorial spaces inspired by nature. His compositions draw from natural phenomena the motifs, patterns, textures, and colors he communicates through suggestive rather than representational pictures. Color is the central force of the artist's creative process, charging his work with symbolic meaning, and giving his paintings a physical presence that closes the distance between mind and matter, eye and spirit. The simple, direct vision of this artist should surprise and delight both the general public and collectors alike." – Ameruddin Ahmad,curator,National Art Gallery, Malaysia.
