Oppositional Sculptures

Our last overseas holiday was a road trip to Malaysia in January 2020: we visited with family in Ipoh, and popped into Kuala Lumpur for a few days to visit museums & enjoy the local cuisine. While there, we stayed at the Element Kuala Lumpur which is housed in Ilham Tower.

This larger than life sculpture was found at the far end of the lift lobby leading up to the hotel.

Pose( Preman Kampungan) by Indonesian artist Yunizar; preman kampungan is slang for a common gangster

This funny guy greeted us as we came out of the elevator in search of the Ilham Gallery, which was in the same building (but accessed by a different set of elevators) as our hotel. Which was serendipitously convenient as there were exhibitions we wanted to see.
