In an era dominated by art museum gimmicks and digital art spectacles, it is no small feat to present a back-to-basics exhibition that explores drawing as a finished art form.

However, Ilham Gallery in Kuala Lumpur has embraced the challenge and put together an accessible, artistic, and thoughtful show titled Titik Garis Bentuk (Drawing As Practice). It is the gallery’s first medium-based show, running through Aug 30.
