An art teacher, M. Sukri Derahman was a protege of the late Ismail Mat Hussin, where he learned batik painting from. He has exhibited in City Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in the group exhibition – Lambaian Kelantan in 2015, and the Gelora Timur Exhibition in Dita Colour Gallery, Kuala Lumpur in 2016. Drawing from his heritage, Sukri’s craftsmanship embodies the spirit of Malaysian artistry, blending vibrant colours and detailed patterns that reflect the natural world and local folklore. His wau batik artwork not only serves to remind viewers of this East Coast recreational pastime but also promotes Malaysia’s cultural identity.
