For artist Liew Kwai Fei‘s solo show (23 October – 17 November, 2024), organized by The Back Room KL, titled 排一排 Side by Side 排一排, I contributed an as-told-to essay in the form of a monologue that offers an insightful portal into the working mind of one of Malaysia’s most prolific contemporary painters, how he deploys and contemplates about abstraction in his practice. An online version of the essay can be found here.
