The Godown KL is hosting Bentong, Pahang-based artist Gene Eu’s first solo exhibition Things That Move, which takes its name from the direct translation of the Chinese word for “animal” (“dongwu”).

Jungle cats, monkeys, deer and other mammals are brought to life in Eu’s signature dry brush technique – the method involves using Sumi ink on a dry brush, which imparts a distinctive texture and depth to his paintings creating a sense of translucency and an almost ethereal quality to his subjects.
