Liew Kwai Fei's Kisah Misteri Di Jalan Bukit Lima Bintang Episod 505: SOS Dari Lubang ke Lubang (2015), Acrylic on linen, embroidery, Velcro and custom made wooden frame.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A single image, after all, if properly used, can create a thousand feelings or sensations more effectively than any written description could.

The works of local artist Liew Kwai Fei, however, show us that the saying’s reverse may also be true: sometimes, a word can evoke a host of images, ideas and concepts as well. Just take a look at his latest exhibition, Siapa Dia Tong Sam Pah?, which is showing now at Richard Koh Fine Art gallery in Kuala Lumpur this month.
