Diskusi Senja is a painting inspired by conversations about art and daily life, held in the evenings as moments of reflection, learning, and inspiration.
The discussion explores the West and the East (Malaya) from various angles, including culture, beliefs, and ideas, embracing both perspectives in daily life. The mangkuk bertingkat (tiffin carrier) serves as a visual metaphor, symbolizing the merging of these two worlds in an accessible and meaningful way.
This work also reflects the influence of Frida Kahlo, an artist known for her deep connection to identity and heritage. At its core, Diskusi Senja highlights the importance of remembering one’s roots, preserving traditions, and valuing the richness of cultural heritage.

Monday

RM13,000
Monday is often associated with the phrase "Monday Blues," a hue of blue that perfectly captures the mood many feel at the start of the week. Yet, what truly connects us is the variation in how we experience it—each person carrying their own purpose, their own drive. While the feeling may differ for everyone, it’s not simply about the weight of routine. It’s also about the quiet strength we summon to move forward, driven by goals, dreams, and the hope for a better day. That shared push transforms the blue of Monday from a symbol of pessimism into one of resilience and possibility, reminding us that each new start carries the potential for something greater.

Girl in a Labyrinth of Food
Gan Sze Hooi
91 x 116.5cm
Oil on Canvas
2025
RM11,000
Inspired by Pan’s Labyrinth, this artwork explores the tension between desire and restraint. It parallels a girl’s temptation in a maze with modern dilemmas—navigating a world of hidden traps and enticements.
Through mapping, I see a maze as a map, both symbolizing movement, decision-making, and control. These elements shape my artistic universe, bridging history, culture and personal narratives.
At its core, the work questions whether we control our desires or if they control us. The labyrinth represents life’s choices, where material temptations, advertisements, financial traps and illusions of wealth—lure many astray. This contrast appears in color: blue symbolizes restraint, while red embodies indulgence, especially among younger generations.
Reinterpreting historical symbols like Kapitan Yap Ah Shak’s body shape, the work reflects how traditions, choices, and temptations define our journey. The question remains, will we navigate wisely or be consumed by desire?

She won’t even know your name
Gan Sze Hooi
83.5x83.5cm
Oil on Canvas
2025
SOLD
Inspired by traditional colonial maps, this artwork features four divine figures at each corner, blowing in different directions, symbolizing forces shaping the city's evolution. At the center, a map of Jalan Yap Ah Shak encircles a young girl—unaware of its history, lost within the urban landscape. Clouds fill the scene, carrying fragmented definitions and descriptions, reflecting a fading past.
The title She Won’t Even Know Your Name stems from a simple question I asked my 18-year-old daughter: Do you know who Yap Ah Shak was? Her response "no idea" revealed a growing detachment from historical roots, where landmarks are now defined by food spots and social media check-ins.
As urban transformation accelerates through digital integration and iCloud technology, connectivity and efficiency redefine our relationship with the city, blurring the lines between memory and progress. The old community no longer relates to the name; traditional values are vanishing. In this rapid modernization, we are left with a question: Should we still preserve history, or should economic growth take precedence?

In February 2020, in front of Bank Simpanan Nasional, Lebuh Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, the city was already shifting. The early presence of COVID-19 had begun to reshape daily life. Face masks were not yet mandatory, but caution was in the air.
People moved through familiar spaces with quiet awareness, their routines subtly altered. Public areas remained active, yet interactions grew more restrained. What once felt effortless now carried a sense of hesitation. Today, that vigilance lingers, shaping how individuals navigate shared environments.

This photograph, taken on February 1, 2020, in front of ANSA Hotel Kuala Lumpur, captures a moment that, at the time, felt ordinary, a woman buying a facemask before masks became a daily necessity. Back then, during my lunchtime walks around Bukit Bintang, the city still moved at its usual pace, unaware of how drastically things would shift.
Looking at this image today, it speaks to how cities and communities adapt over time. What was once a rare sight has now become second nature. The way we navigate public spaces, interact with one another, and incorporate new habits into our daily lives reflects the evolving nature of urban society. From digital transactions to redefined work cultures and shifting social dynamics, we have reshaped our routines to align with new realities. This photograph is a quiet reflection of that shift, how small actions eventually weave into the fabric of our cities, shaping the way we live, connect, and move forward together.

Gan Tee Sheng’s Liquid Flesh suggests the human body flows and contorts like liquid, mirroring the transformations induced by alcohol.

His work explores the altered states of awareness shaped by intoxication where reality bends, and consciousness drifts between clarity and illusion. In this surreal interplay, he captures the rhythm of urban existence, reflecting the delicate balance between indulgence and control in a world driven by desire and transformation.
