2015 with an opening reception

exhibition presents the latest artists’ works ranging from painting to woodcut print
accumulating their progression over last three years.
In
general, Attract/Retract addresses the impact of environmental
change, and its influence towards artists’ endeavour, who take a
reflective look at current issues. Inspired by John Berger’s ‘Ways of Seeing’,
the exhibition attempt to explore the issues of technology, information,
and its affection to the mind of the artist. The title Attract/Retract defines
by the quote from Berger, ‘(We) only see what we look at. To look is an act of
choice. We never just one thing; we are always looking at the relation between
things and ourselves.’ Visual data, be it text or images, simultaneously
stimulates the mind, in this case, the artist mind.

founded in 2012 in Klang, Selangor, the trio quickly established themselves as
promising young artists, make their way by winning various competitions
and awards such as Malaysia Emerging Artist Award (MEA) and UOB Art
