Different lives, one purpose: coming together through art

Former international trade and industry minister Rafidah Aziz, principal artist Yeow Teck Chai, Oon Soon Keat, Yoon Chooi Wan, Tan Ken Ming, and Winsen Loke are six artists uniting for a common cause at Art4Good: Painting from the Heart exhibition. Their diverse backgrounds include public service, corporate life, and disabilities, but they all use their art to make a positive impact on others' lives.

The exhibition, featuring over 120 paintings, aims to raise funds for the Free Food Society and the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped. With a target of RM400,000, the event's previous edition raised RM300,000 in 2023. Artists like Winsen Loke, who creates art by tapping his wrist and palm, and Ken Ming, whose vivid paintings inspired by animals and nature, demonstrate the transformative power of art in helping others.
