Emerging Sabah artist debuts solo show at Wei-Ling Gallery
Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur presents 'Trilogy: The Lightseeker', the debut solo exhibition of 25-year-old Sabah-born multidisciplinary artist Iwadh Mahadi. Developed through the gallery's WLG Incubator programme, the show runs from Tuesday to November 1 at Wei-Ling Contemporary. Iwadh, who works in bamboo mosaics, frottage, printmaking, and experimental processes, spent seven months under the mentorship of acclaimed Malaysian artist Choy Chun Wei, with additional guidance from guest mentor Adam Chodzko, gallery mentor Lim Wei-Ling, and programme coordinator Prissie Ong. The exhibition explores themes of faith, memory, and renewal through what the artist calls 'conceptual naturalism'.
