The past endures despite time's passage. What was once a civilisation's summer has turned to winter, but the light of that distant past still burns within. Inspired by this enduring legacy, Ipoh-born, London-based artist Rajinder Singh has created a series of new paintings and sculptures that is inspired by the Punjabi people's history.

His new exhibition, Saffron Surrender, running at Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur until Sept 14, is a multifaceted experience, featuring not only his visual art but also his poetry collection, Pale In Saffron.
