        Gan Sze Hooi (b. 1977) The Deluge III, 2014

        Est: RM1,500 - RM2,500

        Rows of buildings are highlighted through buttery yellow hues, juxtaposed with the construction vehicles in the foreground. Distilled into blocks of geometric forms, a row of colonial heritage houses was depicted on the left, in contrast with modern commercial buildings on the right. These excavation vehicles imply the destruction and lack of interest in the preservation of local heritage buildings. The demolition of these traditional architectural buildings will result in a loss of sense of place and memories. Gan Sze Hooi was a finalist of the Asia-Pacific Nokia Art Awards in 1999 and 2000. He took part in international art camps in Aiud, Romania, in 2015 and Athwajan, India, in 2016.

        Est: RM8,000 - RM14,000

        The Sheraton Move in 2020 was a crisis marked by the joined forces of members from BN, Bersatu, PAS and a faction of PKR, which toppled the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government. This period of political instability and turmoil was highlighted through the looming dark clouds over a dystopic cityscape devoid of the presence of light.

      • Gan Sze Hooi (b. 1977) The Land Of Execution, 2015
        Mar. 24, 2019

        Gan Sze Hooi (b. 1977) The Land Of Execution, 2015

        Est: RM10,000 - RM18,000

        Gan Sze Hooi offers an enactment of the spirit, soul and body through capital punishment against the backdrop of the notorious Pudu Prison, in its last days before it is turned into the Bukit Bintang City Centre. Centrestage in the courtyard, like Hell on earth, is a prisoner about to be hanged, his body stretched to three stories with the noose held by a giant excavator. Scenes of six convicts awaiting hanging are shown on the sides, and it could well be past enactments of the said prisoner in his cell. Strangely, the prisoner, with contrition in his face, is shown like a martyr, suggesting that if he was remorseful of his action, he would have been ‘liberated’. There is a tale of sariras (bead-shaped or crystal objects found among cremated ashes of someone who has attained nirvana) being found among the ashes of a convicted murderer who became very pious during incarceration. This work was part of the artist’s Configuration series in 2015. Gan Sze Hooi was a finalist of the Asia-Pacific Nokia Art Awards in 1999 and 2000. He took part in international art camps in Aiud, Rumania, in 2015 and Athwajan, India, in 2016. He was also featured in the Fusion exhibition involving artists from Malaysia, Bangladesh, India and Nepal at Galeri Seni Mutiara, Penang, in 2015, and the M50: Selamat Hari Malaysia showcase at White Box, MAP Publika, KL.

Gan graduated from the Central Academy of Art, KL, in 2001. 101 x 152cm; 42 x 59cm
