Step into the world of Nigel Sense’s artistic journey as an Australian navigating the cultural landscape of Penang, Malaysia. This exhibition, set against the backdrop of a local kopitiam in Pulau Tikus, invites you to witness the transformation of everyday experiences into vibrant canvases that echo the pulse of urban life. From decorative wall tiles to the aroma of strong black coffee, these paintings unfold as personal diaries, capturing overheard conversations and the bustling atmosphere of the breakfast crowd; each stroke celebrating the eclectic tapestry that defines the region.
