Kide Baharudin isn’t too fussed about exhibition riders.

The Seremban, Negri Sembilan-based artist would have been perfectly happy furnishing his first solo show, featuring a new series of retro Malaysia paintings, with 1960s era props such as old kopitiam furniture, a jukebox and a couple of vintage wooden cupboards to set the old world atmosphere.
