Abstract art is the kind of art that makes some people frown, scratch their heads, and say that their four-year-old could do the same. Yet at the same time, questions abound: What is this painting supposed to be? What does it show? What does it say?

The Unreal Deal: Six Decades Of Malaysian Abstract Art exhibition currently on at Bank Negara Museum and Art Gallery in KL does not provide answers to these questions. Not directly, at least.
