“Someone once told me that walking into a space without art is like walking into a city without architecture,” shares Patrick On, the founder and advisor for Qing Gallery, who is an art collector himself.
The contemporary artistic space located in Desa Parkcity, Kuala Lumpur, allows guests to indulge in and explore curated artworks, which are arranged according to shows or themes. And one of the main reasons for the opening of the gallery, according to On, was to give residents as well as visitors to the locale a space to appreciate and enjoy art forms.
“After two years of the pandemic and staying at home, I felt that there’s a lot of passion in art that have been pent up and couldn’t be shared. As a collector, when this space was made available, I decided to convert it into a gallery to express the joy of art, which comes about through sharing it with others. Desa Parkcity is a very vibrant community, it’s family-orientated and there’s a lot of beauty surrounding it, so we decided to inject art to further beautify the area,” says On.
