Lawyer couple Pakhruddin and Fatimah Sulaiman’s space is where they store the bulk of their art collection. And it’s huge. You’ll see plenty of contemporary works by leading Malaysian artists, which the couple bought way back when the artists were just beginning to make a name for themselves, and a good mix that includes paintings, sculptures and photography. If you’re lucky, you’ll even get a free tour from the collectors themselves.
RuPé – as the gallery is called for short – looks more like a cosy apartment above your standard row of shoplots in Ampang, where artworks are the main residents. Like its counterpart in Bangsar, RuPé has a strong aura of the personal, the kind that gives you goosebumps.
