The Overview

Updated on October 17, 2014

"There is some very serious art being made in Malaysia by Malaysians," says Lim Wei-Ling, who runs two of KL's premier spots for quality, locally made work. "We aim to make art more accessible to the general public and take away the fallacy that art is intimidating." Artists at both galleries—Wei-Ling Contemporary, in the Gardens Mall, accessed though Peranakan antique doors, is the newer branch set up in 2010, while the museum-like Wei-Ling Gallery, in a pre-war heritage building, is the flagship established in 2002—tend to be mid-career locals with whom Lim has worked for a number of years. Monthly shows range from paintings to sculpture, photography to installations, by well-known artists like Ivan Lam and Anurendra Jegadeva.
