My second solo in Malaysia



Here is the invite for my second major solo in Malaysia. Above it is a picture of PACE gallery in Kuala Lumpur.

I managed to produce 8 new works for this show which will open on the 25th of June at the prestigious PACE gallery. Now to see if any of the collectors will like the new paintings. It is a nail-bitingly tense period. The catalogue is published soon and a pdf version will go to all the potential collectors.
