Since he was a young boy, artist and organic farmer Gene Eu has always been passionate about two things: art and animals.
So for his first solo exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Eu decided to merge those two passions together, culminating in Things That Move, a celebration of Malaysia’s rich wildlife biodiversity.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
