Yong Mun Sen in Nanyang

For the uninitiated, Yong Mun Sen is one of the most iconic Southeast Asian artists of the 20th century. He was also an instrumental figure in NAFA's founding history – so, in conjunction with the academy's 85th anniversary, NAFA is celebrating the Sarawak-born luminary with an exhibition that spotlights his journey and vision of Nanyang through watercolour, oil, ink and photography. After all, a picture paints a thousand words, and what better way to get to know an artist than through his stunning creations? Expect 78 artworks from private collectors in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and the National Gallery Singapore to line the gallery walls.
