Hoan Gallery and the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak will launch “Through the Canvas, Across the Sea,” a landmark exhibition featuring over 50 artworks by five renowned Peninsular Malaysian artists.
The show opened on March 21 at La Promenade Mall and runs until April 20.
“Through the Canvas, Across the Sea” is Hoan Gallery’s 2025 season opener, uniting Dato’ Chong Hon Fatt, Voon Kim Cheong, Lee Choon Kooi, Loo Hooi Nam, and Tham Siew Moi — each presenting pieces that explore themes of identity, heritage, and cultural landscapes.
Here are the media highlights:
Utusan Sarawak, March 24
Dalam dunia seni yang luas, seorang pengkarya seni yang tidak asing namanya, Voon Kim Cheong ibarat seorang nakhoda yang ’mengemudi’ ekspresi kreatifnya merentasi sempadan budaya dan benua.
Telah menelusuri arus seni lebih tiga dekad, jejaka dari Kuala Lumpur itu menghamparkan pelbagai kisah dalam warna dan tekstur yang bukan hanya memukau mata, tetapi meresap jauh ke dalam jiwa.
Karya-karya Voon bukan sekadar coretan di atas kanvas, tetapi pantulan emosi dan renungan mendalam terhadap kehidupan.
Sapuan beraninya menggambarkan kisah manusia, alam dan hubungan antara keduanya, menjadikan setiap karya seperti tingkap ke dimensi lain—tempat di mana perasaan dan pemikiran bertemu secara harmoni.
