GENERAL HANGING edition #3
4 July – 25 July 2026

General Hanging presents a carefully curated selection of artworks drawn from the gallery’s holdings, alongside exceptional works sourced from private collections and the secondary market. Bringing together both previously unseen pieces and works rarely exhibited in recent years, the exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience the richness and diversity of Malaysian contemporary art under one roof.

Spanning multiple generations, General Hanging features significant works by some of Malaysia’s most celebrated artists, including Ibrahim Hussein, Datuk Sharifah Fatimah Syed Zubir, Yusof Ghani, Awang Damit Ahmad, Ahmad Zakii Anwar, Jalaini Abu Hassan, Rafiee Ghani, Mastura Abdul Rahman, Bayu Utomo Radjikin, Hamidi Hadi, Hamdan Shaarani, Daud Rahim, Fadilah Karim, Issarezal, Husin Othman and Kide Baharudin, alongside a selection of promising younger voices and emerging talents. Together, these works create a dialogue between established masters and the next generation of artists, reflecting the continuing evolution of Malaysian visual art.

Each artwork has been selected not only for its artistic merit but also for its provenance, rarity and contribution to the broader narrative of artistic practice, cultural memory and collecting history.

The exhibition celebrates the diversity of artistic expression while highlighting the enduring significance of works that have shaped and continue to shape, the Malaysian art landscape.

For collectors, General Hanging offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire museum-quality works that have remained out of public view, alongside rare pieces returning to the market from distinguished private collections. For art enthusiasts, it is an invitation to discover unexpected connections, revisit iconic names, and encounter remarkable works that deserve renewed appreciation.

“𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝘿𝙚𝙣” carries the intimacy of language in its title, a playful fusion of local slang meaning “𝙮𝙤𝙪 and 𝙢𝙚.” Hang is Penang dialect for “𝘺𝘰𝘶,” while den is Negeri Sembilan dialect for “𝘐.” The title gestures to Kide’s personal story, recalling his relationship with his wife, Ika, whom he first met in her hometown of Penang (on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia), while he hails from Negeri Sembilan (in the central southern region of Peninsular Malaysia). Drawing from its autobiographical reference, the title situates the exhibition within memory, place, and human experience, tracing the ties between personal history and collective culture.

Returning after the restrictions of 2020, “𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝘿𝙚𝙣” presents a long-awaited second chance to experience Kide’s work in its full breadth, after the previous exhibition was curtailed by the pandemic. The show reads as a love letter to Penang, with its communities, quirks, and enduring spirit, articulating the intimacy of everyday life as a form of historical consciousness. Kide’s paintings remain vivid, playful, and deeply human, recalling our own memories and opening up a renewed experience of the city through the attentive, imaginative gaze of one of Malaysia’s most compelling chroniclers of place and experience.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the opening this Saturday at 8pm. Stay tuned for more updates on the exhibition.
