There’s a pretty awesome collaboration that’s going on right now,
and anyone can step in the gallery to view it at no charge.
“The Garden of Hidden Desires brings together
8 of Malaysia’s most promising artists with
8 established fashion designers in the country
to work on a crossover collection
of paintings, installations, sculptures and one-off couture creations
that blur the boundaries of art & fashion.”
Bluefish Morning by
Fashion Designer: Jonathan Cheng
Artist: Faisal Suhif
The S.O.S. Series by
Fashion Designer: Tom Abang Saufi
Artist: Justin Lim
I recognise Justin’s pointilism techniques from an exhibition he had a few years ago.
Interestingly, he decided to printscreen images on a piece of perspeks atop the painting
instead of painting directly unto it.

This is my absolute favourite because the rattan sculpture is an EXQUISITE piece of work that took the artists 3 months to construct,
AND
it opens up into a hidey hole chair!
