‘Painting from the Heart’, for families who need a hand

Supported by FMT, this exhibition brings artists together to raise funds for food aid, care and education for children with severe disabilities.

‘Painting from the Heart’, for families who need a hand

Art4Good: Painting from the Heart is Yeow Teck Chai's fourth charity exhibition, showcasing over 120 paintings aimed at raising funds for welfare organizations. At 76 years old, Yeow continues to paint daily, finding pleasure in finishing a piece and satisfaction in knowing his work can help those in need. With FMT as its media partner, the exhibition will feature works by five other artists, including former international trade and industry minister Rafidah Aziz, who will launch the event with a silent auction of her eight paintings.

Yeow's favorite subjects are scenes of kampung life, bringing him back to his childhood in Kuantan, Pahang. For SSMH president and FFS executive committee member Fadillah Yakin, the generosity of the artists is invaluable, especially as fundraising has become more challenging since the pandemic.
