Through his long career spanning over 50 years. Khalil Ibrahim has held many solo and group exhibitions in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Switzerland. He was Vice Chairman of Malaysian Watercolour Organisation from 2002 to 2003. His skills in drawing, watercolour and acrylic, are in styles that move from the almost real to the almost abstract. Khalil’s preference for the human figure has led to memorable images of men and women in the East Coast Malay fishing villages against stark backgrounds of blues and greens and watercolour landscape of villages. From his drawing or sketches, is no doubt he understands the value of the first attempt - the quick sketch or the initial drawing. For it is frequently within that first observation that the artist captures the essence of the thing observed through his/her feeling of, or reaction to, the subject they are observing. It is this initial relationship (to the subject), which often proves to be the most profound, for an artist.

Evocative figures in strange postures and surreal landscapes come together, echoing the artist’s subconscious as a man of the worlds, an Asian and global citizen. Since 1982, he has made a home in the US, but continues to shuttle between Peninsula Malaysia and North America.
