Three decades after his untimely death, pioneer Malaysian artist Chia Yu Chian still speaks to people through his art.
At Ilham Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Chia Yu Chian: Private Lives, a solo exhibition with almost 200 works mostly from the family collection, offers visitors a glimpse into the “slice of the everyday” works of this prolific artist.
