Shafiq Nordin, Michael Chuah, Leong Wan Kok (known for 1000 Tentacles Studio), and Janggutbear are Malaysian artists from diverse fields – fine art, comics, toy design, and digital art – who, just a few years ago, would not have been seen together in the same gallery.

However, these artists have now found common ground at a pop culture art exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
