ARTISERI Gallery has launched an exhibition featuring digital artworks from seven
young talented artists under the tutelage
of Yusof Gajah.

The exhibition themed Digital Painting

Vs Manual Painting was launched by
National Association of Registered
Childcare Providers Malaysia executive
director Jameyah Sheriff at the Seri
Pacific Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Also present was Seri Pacific Hotel general manager Halim Merican.
It was great to see the talent of all the
young artists who participated, said
Jameyah.
Artiseri Gallery, in a press statement,
said it had taken the opportunity to provide exposure for digital artists to highlight their talents and give visitors the
chance to evaluate their works on display.
The digital artists were present at the
launch to give an insight into their works
to visitors.
I tried to incorporate local elements in
my work.
I had to manually draw the strokes and

experiment with different colours in

Photoshop to get a nice rustic look, said
digital artist Muhammad Syahid Yusof, 25.
Another artist, Khirulnizam Aziz, 23,
said he was happy to be given the opportunity to showcase his works.
By drawing digitally, I have more control over the strokes and colours, he
said.
Artiseri Gallery is a permanent addition
to Seri Pacific Hotel and since its inception a year ago, the gallery has organised
more than a dozen art-related events.
It hopes to work with talented artists by
providing them a platform to promote
their art and connect with their audience.
Artiseri Gallery is open to the public
and admission is free.
The paintings are for sale.
The exhibition ends on Sept 8.
