Having been absent from Malaysia for 11 years between 1991 to 2002, the artist returned to discover drastic changes within our local surroundings, consequently forming his interest in this particular subject matter. Upon capturing images of people, objects and scenes within public spaces, the artist\u2019s works are achieved through the employment of his personal methods of juxtaposing these images to construct a \u201cnew place\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>With this upcoming exhibition, Kim Ng is set to detach himself from his well-established stamp as a printmaker and be recognised purely as a maker, holding true to his belief that as an artist, one needs to evolve and be able to make use of different materials to form various ideas or stories. In a bid to advance through different art forms, the artist\u2019s latest body of work will incorporate an exciting amalgam of textures and mediums intended to enhance the overall viewing experience of his audience.<\/p>\n<p>To date, in addition to having shown 5 solo exhibitions within Malaysia, Kim Ng has participated in a vast number of group exhibitions both locally and abroad in countries such as the UK and China.<\/p>\n<p>In A Place of Wonder will be showing at Wei-Ling Gallery from 2nd June to 7th July 2014.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wei-Ling Gallery is located at No. 8, Jalan Scott, Brickfields, 50470, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>Wei-Ling Gallery is open Mondays to Fridays from 11am\u20137pm and Saturdays from 10am-5pm.<\/p>\n<p>Admission is free.<\/p>\n<p>Please call 0322601106 or email weiling.shaz@gmail.com for more information.<\/p>\n<p>You may also visit our website at www.weiling-gallery.com or our Facebook page at Wei-Ling Gallery.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031{\nheight:35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/Lifestyle\/Entertainment\/Arts\/Frame-Up\/2014\/06\/29\/A-good-conversation\/\"><strong>A good conversation: Artist Kim Ng&#8217;s work is worth talking about<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/node\/9922?d=1\"><strong>Kim Ng speaks to Amanda Ariffin from NSTP about his latest body of work in the Sunday Times<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Inaplaceofwonder.latest_000.pdf\"><strong>View online catalogue<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3524,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[4],"class_list":["post-3568","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_entries-exhibitions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3568"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=3568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
