KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 (Bernama) -- The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul
Halim Mu'adzam Shah Wednesday night officiated an art exhibition by
local young artist Ken Yang entitled, 'Paris-Kuala Lumpur'.
The exhibition, a joint effort of the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) is
being held at the National Visual Arts Gallery here from Oct 28 to Jan

Cultural Adviser to the Government Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim, Tourism and
Culture Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Ong Hong Peng, National
Visual Art Development Board director-general Haned Masjak and the

Abdul Aziz said Ken Yang's art work comprised portraits which displayed
the style of classic Renaissance such as Leonardo da Vinci.

Yang's work when he was at the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organisation in Paris in 2011," he said.
