Richard Koh Fine Art (RKFA) is pleased to announce its collaboration with The Back Room to present Mini Zoo, Hasanul Isyraf Idris’ poignant testimony of his experience navigating the loss of three family members since Malaysia’s lockdown in 2020. The exhibition’s title refers to the artist’s feeling of being trapped in his own physical and mental space throughout this period, a feeling he explored simultaneously through the related theme of biological metamorphosis as he observed the evolving caterpillars and pupae he cared for in his studio. It is through drawing that the artist found solace in these dreams, observations, and collected images. This exhibition bears these exercises in remembrance and acceptance.
