Augustman Malaysia - August 2022

In dieser Angelegenheit

In celebration of Merdeka Day, Augustman turns to the latest generation of enterprising Malaysian youths who are elevating the nation’s fondest industry – food and beverage – led by Vincent Lua, founder and CEO of one of Malaysia’s fastest-growing Korean fast casual dining chain MyeongDong Topokki. Having satisfied our editorial senses with food entrepreneurship, the Augustman team then moved over to ILHAM Gallery for some art for thought at the inaugural ILHAM Art Show, a triennial exhibition platform initiated to give artists in Malaysia the opportunity to experiment and make new work. Last but not least, we invite you to delve into the enclosed 2022 edition of our annual watch guide MVMT, this year time fronted by award-winning actor and Montblanc Mark Maker Chen Kun, and discover the latest trends and offerings from the world of horology.

THROUGH THE LENS of Malaysian Artists

There are many varied reasons why art is important to society—a simple definition of art is that ‘art is order’. And as Malaysians, we’re famous for letting raw talent go unnoticed. Nine out of 10 times, we are unaware of our own local talent until that person has made it on the billboards of some foreign land. It’s even more competitive when it comes to something as subjective as visual art, where everyone’s a critic. Many Malaysian artists who work relentlessly are practically unknown, which is a shame considering how awesome their art is. At Augustman, we believe that good art should be valued and shared, so we’ve compiled a list of talented Malaysian artists and their artworks that are currently showcased at ILHAM Art Show in Kuala Lumpur.
