My Art, My Story

A gallery opens with a question: whose stories will these walls carry?

My Art, My Story is a thoughtfully curated joint exhibition presented by Art & Lifestyle Gallery, under the curatorial direction of Dabby Wong. Bringing together three distinguished artists from across Peninsular Malaysia — Alex Leong (Penang, Northern region), Angelo Chia Seng Chai (Klang, Central region), and Yeo Eng Peng (Muar, Southern region) — the exhibition forms a compelling narrative that bridges geography, culture, and personal experience.

Each artist represents a unique regional perspective, yet they are united by a shared commitment to storytelling through art. From the heritage-rich streets of Penang, to the urban and conceptual expressions of Klang, and the culturally rooted sensibilities of Muar, their works collectively reflect the diversity and depth of Malaysia's artistic landscape.

An exploration of identity, memory, and lived experience.

At its core, My Art, My Story is an exploration of identity, memory, and lived experience. Through their distinct visual languages, the artists translate personal journeys into powerful artistic expressions — capturing moments of nostalgia, transformation, emotion, and cultural reflection. Their works go beyond aesthetics, inviting viewers into intimate narratives that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

This exhibition is not only a presentation of artworks, but a dialogue between artists, places, and perspectives. It highlights how art can serve as a bridge between past and present, individual and collective memory, and tradition and contemporary expression.

Through this curatorial vision, Dabby Wong brings together diverse artistic voices to create a cohesive and meaningful experience — one that encourages viewers to reflect, connect, and discover the stories behind each work.
