Hoan Gallery at La Promenade Mall presented its largest exhibition, “Fragments: Perceptions of Sarawak”, to the public.
The season opener brings together more than 70 works by six artists, spanning painting and object-based pieces. Visitors can expect works in oil, acrylic and watercolour, alongside dioramas, sculptures and installations.
For this season opener, we have a mix of paintings, small objects and room-filling installations. The gallery is proud to bring together artists of different ages, experiences, races and cultural backgrounds, with one shared theme: Sarawak.
It’s an exhibition about six different artists’ attempts to show what Sarawak is.
Here are the media highlights:
