Malaysia's Art Tourism Trail

Its a good effort and support of having this kind of promotion for Malaysian art scene, I remember when I was still in secondary school back in the 80's every week Utusan Malaysia will featured local painter in Pancaindera..that was the only printed media (that i remember)gave a space for local artist like Syed Ahmad Jamal, Eng Tay (loves his figura painting with musical intruments), Amron and some budding painter who just retired from teaching profession.

I would like to share this pamphlet by Ministry of Tourism Malaysia

'Contemporary art is a passion that unites discerning travellers and tourist alike from all corners of the world...' Dato' Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen
There are list of exhibition throughout the years and list of art galleries and date of first ever Art Auction in Malaysia..I imagined Sotheby's Art Auction in my mind...:-))

Message from the Minister and on the right is an art piece from Jalaini Abu Hassan - title: Mangkuk ; medium: Mixed media on canvas


and this is Fatamorgana by Ahmad Fuad Osman; medium : oil on canvas...oh I really loves oil painting, the smell of the paint, the way the brush dance on the canvas...surreal.....
