Employing very deft brushstrokes and fine textures, Toon Hian\u2019s vibrant and vivacious artworks reveal a simplistic naivet\u00e9 which is reserved only for those who have been able to retain the ability to see things as they are. As a whole, the works to be featured within this upcoming exhibition are an evocation of the artist\u2019s memories of his life in Perak and of incidents which have taken place over the past thirty years. A rekindling of what once was.<\/p>\n<p>Bewildered was received as a truly unexpected, unhindered and curious delight, and Bewildered, Once More promises no less. This time around however, viewers will be greeted by works of a larger format, as opposed to the smaller scaled series previously delivered.<br \/>\nHailing from a prominent industrialist Chinese family from Ipoh, Toon Hian was schooled in the UK and thereafter came back to live, work and settle in Ipoh, Malaysia. He is a successful businessman who is painfully private and his artworks are his escape away from the realities of this world. To further denote this, Bewildered, Once More will mark Toon Hian\u2019s second ever solo showing throughout his thirty years of practice.<\/p>\n<p>Bewildered, Once More will be showing at Wei-Ling Contemporary from 21st June to 30th July 2013. We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wei-Ling Contemporary is located at G212&amp;213A Ground Floor, The Gardens Mall, 59200, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
