Heritage area in Alor Setar given a splash of colour by veteran Kedah artist’s murals


Are they sisters? Close friends? Who are they? Veteran artist Lee Choon Kooi is not revealing anything about the two women featured in his first mural series in a Alor Setar heritage area.

One is a peaceful, idyllic image of two women in headscarves at rest on a wooden bench and the other shows them together, posing against the backdrop of a kampung (village) setting and coconut trees.

Another work shows the women hauling up fishing nets and mending them by a boat near the riverbank.
