Featuring large-scale bronze and copper sculptures, this exhibition is the gallery\u2019s fifth solo show of Gulgee\u2019s work, an artist who has been the subject of over 40 solo exhibitions since the early 90s.<\/p>\n<p>Amin Gulgee\u2019s works are inspired by Islamic traditions of architecture and metal work. His creations synergise Hindu mythology, Buddhist asceticism and Islamic calligraphy to explore the underlying spirituality of man.<\/p>\n<p>The artist\u2019s work has ranged from abstract sculpture to wearable jewellery, from autobiographical forms depicting himself and his family to his ground breaking three-dimensional calligraphy. To bridge the gap between the viewer and art, he encourages for the sculptures to be touched and the jewellery worn close.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not make my work; it makes itself. It demands to be brought into the world to occupy space. In my process, some threads are old and insist on reinventing themselves. Others appear new and fresh and these combine to create a tapestry that is woven and tells my story. It is a very old yet contemporary narrative which borrows, celebrates and questions tradition and history.\u201d \u2013 Amin Gulgee<\/p>\n<p>Amin Gulgee lives and works in Karachi. His works are in numerous private and public collections worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Walking on the moon will begin showing on 11th June and will continue until 4th August.<br \/>\nWei-Ling Contemporary is located at RT01 Sixth Floor, The Gardens Mall, 59200, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<br \/>\nPlease call 0322601106 \/ 0322828323 or email weiling.shaz@gmail.com for more information.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a04e9a999f2af535624a76d569713c2e hr-short  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  hr-center '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><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-9  el_after_av_hr  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:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/pubpdf-walkingonthemoon.pdf\">View online catalogue<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/wotm-anexpansionistview.pdf\">An Expansionist View: Amin Gulgee\u2019s Practice by Zarmeen\u00e9 Shah<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.star2.com\/culture\/arts\/2015\/07\/13\/walking-on-the-moon-amin-gulgees-cosmic-sculptures\/\">&#8220;Walking On The Moon: Amin Gulgee&#8217;s cosmic sculptures&#8221; by Dinesh Kumar Maganathan<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buro247.my\/culture\/insiders\/walking-on-the-moon-with-amin-gulgee.html\">Buro 24\/7: Walking On The Moon with artist Amin Gulgee<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/news\/2015\/10\/beauty-vs-beauty\">&#8220;Beauty vs Beauty&#8221; by Sarah Vogeler<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Amin-Gulgee-d-a.pdfhttp:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Amin-Gulgee-d-a.pdf\">A moveable feast by Sarah Vogeler &#8211; d+a Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":5677,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"portfolio_entries":[4],"class_list":["post-5676","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\/5676","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=5676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/5676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5676"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_entries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev08.mm-sb.com\/web04\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_entries?post=5676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
