National Art Gallery, do you know..?

We have such gallery. Malaysia National Art Gallery is located along Jalan Tun Razak.

An artist friend of mine sent me text message, informing that he would be at the gallery, yesterday. Since I happened to be around the neighborhood, I decided to make a quick stop, base on ‘See you when I see you’
To my perception the building didn't look appealing, as if it was not well maintained.

As I walked in, the interior was somehow the opposite of my expectation. Its neat , cool and well kept.

Also in this building, where movie writers exhibits their master piece, along with other local artists.

I took a chance to give myself a quick tour around the art gallery, which I’ve never been to although I’ve passed the building hundreds of times.
I started with appreciating master pieces of an artist who was then working on his paintings, at the entrance of the building.
Nice works!! but I didn't have a chance to get to know him in person, as he was busy entertaining his other fans.
I forgot to check on his name too…shark..!!

I also noticed a store selling arts materials. I bought myself a canvas, sold by yard measurement. Now I know where to get things that I need. I do painting when my mood comes, which is once in a blue moon.

Next, I entered the gallery. Wow!. What an amazing masterpiece.

I wonder why the place is not one of the favorite place for public.Adding to my question mark, I don't see much publicity about it.
Time to GO..!
“Good to see you again, Sir.”
I bumped unto the artist friend that I was hoping to meet there, Shamsul Bahari, as I ended my tour and got to rush home. Too bad, it wasn't a right time for both of us to have a longer chat.
I had another tour to go on that day, The Stadium Bukit Jalil. Soccer match was about to happen.
See you again..!
