An exhibition to mark a milestone moment in life, and getting over it fast

It's been a few years since contemporary artist Joshua Kane Gomes has shown a full series of his works in Malaysia. His first solo show These Things We Do in Kuala Lumpur in 2019 was a glimpse of how he evokes moods and melancholy atmospheres through his installations.

The days of bear traps and hysterical neon mirrors have given way to a more poignant art exhibition, as seen in Gomes' new show Violent Delights, which is having its closing weekend at Temu House in Petaling Jaya.
