2. “Portrait of a Malaysian Artist” Art Exhibition @ Ilham Gallery

If you’re a fan of artistic pieces and drawings, here’s a free art exhibition to feast your eyes upon!

Ilham Gallery is exhibiting arts pieces drawn by Kok Yew Puah, a Malaysian artist whose works are largely inspired from his personal experiences while growing up in Klang.

Kok Yew Puah (1947-1999) made his debut upon returning from Melbourne with a booming passion to discover the potential and importance of art-making and artistic exchange.

His art also touches on anxieties stemming from environmental damage and the issue of a widening disconnection between the knowledge of history and culture within the younger generation.

Jot these dates and time down in your calendar if you are interested to pay Ilham Gallery a visit!

• Date: Now – 3 April, 2022 (Sunday) 
• Opening Hours: 11am – 7pm (Closed on Mondays)
• Location: Level 5 of Ilham Tower
