In a concentrated effort to make art collecting more accessible for a wider audience, and to open up opportunities to introduce contemporary art to the next generation of new collectors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This space aims to offer specific artworks by serious artists who are committed to their art practice approaches, are committed to making art which is relevant to the time through which they live, and are unafraid to take risks in order to progress.<\/p>\n<p>At Booth B3, WLG IGNITE features Adam Abas, Iwadh Mahadi, Khabir Roslan, Lee Mok Yee, Nasrul Rokes and Wong Xiang Yi. Their varied approaches, materials and visual languages offer an introduction to the range of practices shaping Malaysia\u2019s emerging art scene.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the booth, Khabir Roslan, who joined the WLG Incubator Programme in 2023, has been selected to present a large-scale work on the fair\u2019s dedicated feature wall. Titled &#8216;<em>SEBELUM CAHAYA (BEFORE ILLUMINATION)<\/em>&#8216; (2026), the work measures 11 feet high and 23 feet wide when laid flat and is made from medical gauze, compost soil, burnt red soil and fibre thread. Its placement gives the work a distinct setting within the fair, foregrounding Khabir\u2019s engagement with material and scale.<\/p>\n<p>WLG IGNITE by Wei-Ling Gallery will be presented at Booth B3 during CIMB ARTOBER 2026, held from 28 October to 1 November 2026 at Level 1, Ombak KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
