Suria KLCC mall holds many high-end fashion labels and it also
has an outstanding outdoor park, but the best part about it, is that it has an
art gallery. The Petronas Gallery is the place for those are lovers where they
could indulge in the moment of silence and serenity. With soft background
music, spotlight and comfortable atmosphere to sink into the art work that has
been published for auction or purchase. The GALERI PETRONAS is a non-profit
visual arts gallery established in 1993 to promote the art works
designed/created by Malaysian artist.
Most of the artworks are usually
published by freelance artists or also from the personal collection of Petronas
Art Gallery. The visit to the gallery was a rather interesting one because,
this time it was all purely from the collection of Petronas Holdings. Most of
the art that were displayed had reflected on the Malaysian history in dept. as
to my interest there were nothing that really caught my attention. I found the children
artwork was so much more interesting compared to the ‘talented’ artist.
The artwork by Children
Fortunately, ONE artist did catch my attention. The essence of his artwork that
grabbed my attention was that he had taken old photos (black & white) from
the National Museum Malaysia and put himself in them, as if he was apart of the
photos. His action and positions in those shots were remarkable. Through that
collection of black and white photos, he portrayed himself with a little color
yet with the contrast of the 1939 feel!
