The late Zulkifli Dahlan (1952-1977) was a trailblazing visual artist that tragically had his life cut short.
KL-born Zulkifli, or better known as Jo to his fellow artist friends, died aged 25 of lymphoma cancer in August 1977, and left behind an artistic legacy – over 1,000 pieces of works – that has yet to be truly appreciated and reappraised until now.
