We’d like to wish Azmi Hussin a very Happy Birthday! To celebrate his special day and in conjunction with his solo exhibition 𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄 at Hin Bus Depot, we have an exciting treat for everyone!

One of the highlights of 𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄 is the much-talked-about painting, 𝙁𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙃𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙮𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙—a charming nod to pop culture, which prominently features the iconic Penang ferry alongside 100 beloved movie characters, spanning several decades. From the classic Mary Poppins of the 1960s to the modern Genie from Aladdin (2019), this artwork illustrates the cinematic figures that have shaped Azmi’s experiences, both from childhood and today. The painting, rendered in blue, yellow, and white—the colors of the Penang state flag—offers a playful yet nostalgic connection to local culture while showcasing iconic film characters who have inspired generations.

Now, you can own a piece of this magic! We’re releasing a limited edition print of 30.

We invite you to explore 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭, a solo watercolor exhibition by Leong Yoke Mee (Ammi). Her paintings capture the special relationship between hornbills and indigenous honey harvesters, set in one of Malaysia’s oldest lowland rainforests.

Ammi’s dedication is clear through the stories she shares. During her field research, she faced many challenges, including the buzzing of wild bees during honey harvesting. Despite the risks, she was determined to understand the connection between the people and nature. Her work reflects the deep respect indigenous communities have for the rainforest and the animals that live there.

This exhibition showcases her unique paintings, each one highlighting the beauty of the forest and the need to protect it. Through her art, Ammi hopes to raise awareness about conserving hornbills, bees, and the forests they depend on.

Installation shots of “𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄”, the current exhibition at our Exhibition Space by Azmi Hussin. This exhibition marks a significant milestone in his artistic journey, reflecting his growth and exploration across multiple mediums.

The title, derived from the word “𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦,” alludes to his beginnings as a caricaturist in public spaces, where he honed his skills in capturing the essence of his subjects with humor and precision. In Bahasa Malaysia, “𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪” means “𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥” or “𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩,” aptly representing Azmi’s ongoing quest for his artistic identity.

Plan your visit today! “𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄” is on view through September 29.

He started drawing caricatures on the streets out of desperation to make ends meet 11 years ago and today, Mohd Azmi Mohd Hussin, is holding his first ever solo exhibition chronicling his artistic journey.

The exhibition, aptly titled “𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄”, highlights the 40-year-old artist’s journey of discovery and experimentation that ranges from caricatures, coffee paintings to murals and his latest works, combining the colours of pop art on canvas with his iconic comic characters.

While the title “𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙞” was derived from the word caricature, it also means “𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙” in Malay which describes Azmi’s journey of finding his own art style in the past 10 years.

“𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨,” he said about his art.

Thank you, Opalyn Mok for featuring Azmi Hussin’s solo exhibition, opening later today at 7 pm in conjunction with Merdeka. To read the full Malay Mail article, check out this link below.

Hello September.

Azmi Hussin’s solo exhibition, “𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄,” marks a significant milestone in his artistic journey, reflecting his growth and exploration across multiple mediums. The title, derived from the word “𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦,” alludes to his beginnings as a caricaturist in public spaces, where he honed his skills in capturing the essence of his subjects with humor and precision. In Bahasa Malaysia, “𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪” means “𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥” or “𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩,” aptly representing Azmi’s ongoing quest for his artistic identity.

As his first solo exhibition, “𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄” also functions as a mini-review, providing an insight into the diverse facets of Azmi’s creative journey. Refusing to be confined to a single style or medium, Azmi’s body of work encompasses a wide range of expressions, from his early caricature works that earned him recognition, to the beloved “𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗸” comic strips, coffee paintings, and poignant political drawings. Each body of work showcases diverse influences and techniques, representing a chapter in his artistic narrative and contributing to the distinctive voice he has developed today.

What unites Azmi’s varied works is his deep passion for storytelling. Whether expressed through the whimsical lines of his caricature drawings or the layered symbolism of his recent pieces, his works are driven by a desire to express distinctly Malaysian tales that resonate with his audience. Azmi’s love for storytelling—whether conveyed through humor, social commentary, or personal reflection—runs through his entire artistic oeuvre, bringing coherence to his diverse body of work.

Join us in celebrating Azmi Hussin’s journey with the opening of his first solo exhibition, ‘𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙄,’ during Merdeka—a poignant time to reflect on the themes of identity, search, and belonging that are central to his work.
