We are pleased to participate in CIMB ARTOBER 2026 @ Ombak KLCC with WLG IGNITE, a presentation by Wei-Ling Gallery that brings together selected artworks by emerging artists as well as those under the WLG Incubator Program. In a concentrated effort to make art collecting more accessible for a wider audience, and to open up opportunities to introduce contemporary art to the next generation of new collectors.

This space aims to offer specific artworks by serious artists who are committed to their art practice approaches, are committed to making art which is relevant to the time through which they live, and are unafraid to take risks in order to progress.

At Booth B3, WLG IGNITE features Adam Abas, Iwadh Mahadi, Khabir Roslan, Lee Mok Yee, Nasrul Rokes and Wong Xiang Yi. Their varied approaches, materials and visual languages offer an introduction to the range of practices shaping Malaysia’s emerging art scene.

Beyond the booth, Khabir Roslan, who joined the WLG Incubator Programme in 2023, has been selected to present a large-scale work on the fair’s dedicated feature wall. Titled 'SEBELUM CAHAYA (BEFORE ILLUMINATION)' (2026), the work measures 11 feet high and 23 feet wide when laid flat and is made from medical gauze, compost soil, burnt red soil and fibre thread. Its placement gives the work a distinct setting within the fair, foregrounding Khabir’s engagement with material and scale.

WLG IGNITE by Wei-Ling Gallery will be presented at Booth B3 during CIMB ARTOBER 2026, held from 28 October to 1 November 2026 at Level 1, Ombak KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The fair is open daily from 10am to 10pm, with free admission for all visitors.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Writing for ArtReview Asia, Sharmilla Ganesan reflects on Rajinder Singh’s Saffron Crossings, considering the histories and inherited narratives carried by the SS Rajula. Her review traces the connections between Singh’s family history, the journey from Punjab to Malaysia and the wider histories of migration that shape the exhibition.

Our thanks to the writer, Sharmilla Ganesan for her thoughtful engagement with the exhibition and for sharing her perspective on Singh’s work.
From the Autumn 2026 issue of ArtReview Asia.

A behind-the-scenes look as we prepare for the opening of the WLG Incubator Young Artists Show 2026, 'Again and again and again', across Wei-Ling Gallery and Wei-Ling Contemporary.

Bringing together Ejin Sha, Forrest Wong and Mira Ariel Ong, the exhibition considers repetition as a way of remembering, making and looking. Through sculpture, drawing, video, performance, embroidery and more, each artist returns to familiar gestures, materials and experiences to uncover new meanings in the process.

Developed over six months through the WLG Incubator Programme, the exhibition has been shaped by mentorship and exchange with Pakistani sculptor Amin Gulgee and international guest mentor Ahmet Öğüt.

Our installation is taking shape, and we look forward to welcoming you tomorrow!

📅 16 October – 14 November 2026

Join us for ‘WoOwowO’, a live performance by Forrest Wong, presented in conjunction with the WLG Incubator Young Artists Show 2026: 'Again and again and again' at Wei-Ling Gallery.

‘WoOwowO’ extends the act of drawing into live performance. Plastic beads and calamansi are scattered across the large ‘Birds in My Mind series, The Mountains’ drawings before being slowly gathered and reconnected with needle and thread. The invented title follows the visual language of the materials themselves— W as thread and O as bead— allowing the act of connection to generate its own language.

Performance dates:
Friday, 16 October 2026, 3pm
Saturday, 24 October 2026, 2pm

Venue:
Wei-Ling Gallery
8, Jalan Scott, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur

All are welcome. No RSVPs required.

For the 2026 edition of the WLG Incubator Young Artists Show, we are pleased to present ‘Again and again and again’, a group exhibition featuring Ejin Sha, Forrest Wong, and Mira Ariel Ong, mentored by Pakistani sculptor Amin Gulgee, with international guest mentor Ahmet Öğüt. The exhibition considers repetition as a way of remembering, making, looking and understanding, tracing how familiar gestures, materials and experiences acquire new meanings through repeated encounters.

In ‘Again and again and again’, Ejin Sha returns to fragmented childhood memories and an inherited family story surrounding a house that no longer exists as home. Using sand, resin and 3D-printed PLA, she transforms familiar objects into speculative fossils, employing processes of pressing, rubbing, moulding and casting to preserve traces of the past. Forrest Wong approaches repetition through bodily action, drawing, clay, video and performance, reworking everyday activities such as eating, walking and exercising until they become unfamiliar, playful or ritualistic. Mira Ariel Ong turns to the act of looking and being looked at, using embroidery, hand sewing and a recurring red hand to consider intimacy, the male gaze and the boundaries between private experience and public visibility.

Developed over six months through the WLG Incubator Programme's mentorship and exchange sessions, the exhibition brings together three distinct approaches to repetition, where memories shift, actions accumulate and familiar images take on new meaning.

📅 16 October – 14 November 2026
📍 Wei-Ling Gallery & Wei-Ling Contemporary, 8, Jalan Scott, Brickfields, 50470 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The exhibition is open to walk-ins. Appointments are available via the link in our bio, and we recommend booking ahead for a smoother visit.

Featuring works by Adam Abas, Anas Afandi, Hirendran Sivaganam, Kevi Sze, Ong Hieng Fuong and Wong Xiang Yi, the exhibition brought together six artistic approaches to the gradual changes shaping everyday life, from shifting environments and technological developments to personal recollections and changing ways of seeing.

Please be advised that Wei-Ling Gallery and Wei-Ling Contemporary will be closed to the public from 11 to 15 October 2026 as we prepare for our upcoming exhibition.

Since its launch in 2020, the WLG Incubator Programme has provided emerging Malaysian artists with a platform for mentorship, experimentation and artistic development. Each edition brings artists into an extended exchange with established practitioners, offering time to develop ideas, test new approaches and present the results through the WLG Incubator Young Artists Show.

Looking back at the editions from 2020 to 2025, we revisit the artists and mentors who have shaped the programme along the way.

Across these editions, the WLG Incubator has supported artists at formative stages of their practices, giving them the time and guidance to pursue new questions and bring their work before the public.

Watch this space for the 2026 edition. Featuring Ejin Sha, Forrest Wong and Mira Ariel Ong, this year's programme brings the three artists together under the mentorship of renowned Pakistani sculptor Amin Gulgee, with Ahmet Öğüt joining as international guest mentor.

The outcome of their six-month mentorship will be presented in ‘Again and again and again’, opening from 16 October to 14 November 2026 at Wei-Ling Gallery and Wei-Ling Contemporary.

3 DAYS LEFT to visit ‘Emergent Thresholds’, a group exhibition curated by Mikhail Vanan, featuring Adam Abas, Anas Afandi, Hirendran Sivaganam, Kevi Sze, Ong Hieng Fuong and Wong Xiang Yi.

Bringing together six emerging artists, the exhibition considers the small shifts that shape everyday life. Through painting, drawing and mixed media, the artists respond to changing technologies, environmental uncertainty, economic pressures, personal memory and shifting ways of living.

Together, the works create connections between familiar images, personal experiences and material processes, opening up new ways of seeing change.

📅 8 September – 10 October 2026
📍 Wei-Ling Contemporary, 2nd Floor, Wei-Ling Gallery Annexe, No. 8, Jalan Scott, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.

Open to walk-ins. Pre-registration is available via the link in our bio.
