Malaysian artist evolves from ‘pastel gore’ to something more

'I'm a one-woman team! Managing three Instagram pages - for my art, the GMBB studio, and curating - has been tough, especially promoting the new curation page. With a team, tasks could be shared, but for now, I’m just a girl driven to support the art community with the contacts and resources to make it happen,' says Lin. Photo: The Star/Shaari Chemat

Tucked away in the GMBB creative mall in Kuala Lumpur, Daniellelinart on Level 1 is often the first store to catch visitors’ attention.

Visitors will likely also spot its tenant, 24-year-old Danielle Lin, either deeply immersed in layering her signature “pastel gore” artworks, or busy on her laptop, preparing materials for her curatorial projects.
