This exploration sees Munkao, an artist well recognised for his painterly foray into our everyday pop culture, apply Feng Shui principles and imageries to his new series of &#8216;painstallations&#8217;, &#8216;prosperity sculptures&#8217; and &#8216;auspicious neo-landscapes&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>For millennia, the ancient science and aesthetics of Feng Shui, which is based on living in harmony with the heaven and earth, have been applied for the improvement and well being of the individual and society at large. By constructing one&#8217;s building or decorating one&#8217;s home according to its principles, Feng Shui promises a life of\u00a0meaningful abundance that is aligned with the laws of nature.<\/p>\n<p>As a possible first in the history of modern and contemporary art, Feng Shui breaks new ground by inviting a Feng Shui Master to curate the exhibition display based on his expert and authentic knowledge of Feng Shui. Through this exploration of a new curatorial strategy, we believe that the viewers&#8217; experience of and expectations for of the\u00a0exhibition will be enhanced and challenged.<\/p>\n<p>Feng Shui will showcase Munkao&#8217;s illustrative and conceptual prowess in creating emotional stirring and aesthetically pleasing works of art that draws upon the popular repertoire of Chinese symbolism &#8211; numbers,\u00a0animals, landscape. These artworks will be a unique addition to your art collection and is best displayed according to Feng Shui principles. Whether you&#8217;re hanging the artwork in your home or office, the artworks hold the promise of enhancing your working or living environment, bestowing health, wealth, joy and peace as Feng Shui has\u00a0to all its faithful practitioners for the past thousands of years.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Artist&#8217;s Bio<\/span><br \/>\nMunkao (b. 1982, Kuala Lumpur) translates images and illustrations from our popular culture into quirky observations of our everyday experience.
