Artists taking their works to the USA

THEY say life begins at 40. For a group of Malaysian artists, it was a long-time ambition to take their artworks outside of the country, and there is no better time to do so than when they turn 40.

The group, Matahati, comprising five established artists Bayu Utomo Radjikin, Ahmad Fuad Osman, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed, Masnoor Ramli Mahmud and Hamir Soib have created a name for themselves in the local scene since their involvement almost 20 years ago.
