Magical sculpture series opens up a new world for abstract painter Rafiee Ghani


'This sculpture series is not an extension or break from my painting path, but rather it’s a new creative leap, to learn a new language that mirrors the same themes, stories and issues associated with my work, but in a totally different artistic medium,' says Rafiee. Photo: The Star/Low Lay Phon

Rafiee Ghani was never keen on the subject of sculptures when he was a student, opting to focus on painting instead, even througout most of his career. But now, 41 wood sculptures are the highlights of his new exhibition Arca Samudera at Galeri Puteh in Kuala Lumpur.

It is also his biggest exhibition to date, with an additional 22 sizeable paintings filling up the gallery space.
