The Era Of Shadow Rising

Group exhibition entitled ‘Filtered’ at Wei Ling Gallery, KL - May 2007

The statement:

Shadow puppet is one of our precious cultural heritage. In the era of globalization and cyber technology, this art form seems to disappear slowly but surely. The new generation starts to seek new things, new media to tell a story. The truth is, without any proper conservation and planning, we will loose this priceless piece of art form. My work represents the revival of the evolved shadow puppet (wayang kulit). This time, the story is about the consequences of pollution on nature and the dying of the traditional art form.

First Solo Exhibition 2006

FAIRIEALITY at Galerie Seni Maya, Kuala Lumpur

Khairul Azmir Shoib aka Meme, creates his works based on his interest in children books and stories, especially fairy tales. He is always keen in creating his own creatures and letting his imagination run wild with their costumes and accessories.

His childhood was filled with memories of Star Wars movies, Hans Christian Anderson/The Brother Grimm fairy tales, magical events from the Quran and paranormal events that his family experienced. All this, together with his vivid imagination, became the source of his inspiration for his art when he grew up.
