As I get older, my appreciation for various art styles grew. This leads me to think if I would finally be able to get what the artworks in an art gallery were trying to say. A brochure came to my attention one day, proclaiming that the International Art Expo Malaysia was being held at Matrade. I knew I had to go.
This was the first painting there that caught me. An entry from Myanmar, it pulled me right in into its tranquillity.
The art on the left was made by an Indonesian artist. The scary vibe that this painting gives away is just one of many of its kind (from various countries). It’s eye catching nevertheless. The right is a piece from India.
There’s something sexy and alluring about the Japanese artworks at the expo, as seen on both of the pictures above. The artists behind these works seem to get their entire muse from the fairer sex.
On the left is a Korean piece. It’s hard to ignore a unique painting like this. My mum was quick to grasp the idea behind the Singaporean made artwork on the right: kids in Singapore spend their fun time in malls.
The Spanish artist behind the sculpture as seen in the left picture must have visited the lab recently. Hey, inspiration can be found anywhere right? The painting on the right is from Vietnam.
And of course, we have entries from Malaysia. There are also some of which that were for sale. The artwork on the right is yours for RM 6,600.
These were but a fraction of what was shown that day. Unfortunately, I can’t claim that I understand all of them. But I was inspired.
Very inspired in fact. Come, follow me this way please.
