AL/linum
In recent years, Singaporean artist Luke Heng’s works have been developing in two distinct trajectories — the first being his more traditional oil on linen pieces that engage on a spiritual level and the second, a more conceptual thread that emphasises materiality, the materialisation process and the perception of painting. Works belonging to the latter include a welded steel piece that blurs the lines of sculpture and the two- and three- dimensional illusion.
A+ Works of Art, D6-G-8 D6 Trade Centre, Jalan Sentul, KL. Until Nov 2. For more info, see here.

Of Moments and Memories: A Malaysian Watercolour Experience
The Malaysian Watercolour Society’s latest group exhibition features 74 watercolour paintings by 74 local artists. Curated by Tan Sei Hon, the artworks reflect the places and culture in which the artists were brought up.

This showcase is supported by Maybank Foundation.
