If you happened to walk through Kuala Lumpur mall Avenue K’s concourse area earlier this month, you’d have noticed a mini exhibition titled Anak Syurga: Lai Lai Art Meets The Little Prince Exhibition.
Some of these artworks featured characters or elements from the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry story The Little Prince.
Avenue K was hosting the delightful pop-up You Ni Market, with the theme “The Little Prince” featuring all sorts of charming, quirky handmade items, and as an added feature, it put the spotlight on several works of art by 10 special artists – Alice Lee, Ong Yong Da, Danial Kushairi, Ng Yi Shen, Siew Zi Hong, Stephane Tam, Yap Hanzhen, Kirtaraw Subramanian, Andrew Chew and Lim Yu Heng.
These artists with autism were represented by contemporary artist Alice Chang-Guerra, who had last year conducted an art competition in conjunction with Autism Awareness month and chosen these winning artists to contribute their works to the Avenue K exhibition.
Also in attendance at the launch were the showcased artists and their family members, Chang-Guerra and her friends and supporters, Captain (Navy) Cesare Petruzziello, Italian Defense Advisor in Malaysia, and Dr Choy Sook Kuen, founder of Oasis Place, a multi-disciplinary intervention centre for children and adults with learning differences.
