Malaysian galleries Richard Koh Fine Art and The Back Room to showcase vibrant Malaysian art at ART SG 2025, spotlighting Southeast Asia’s artistic talent.

Malaysia’s flourishing art scene will take center stage at the third edition of ART SG, set to be held from January 17 to 19, 2025, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Representing Malaysia’s unique creative landscape, galleries Richard Koh Fine Art and The Back Room will be among the 106 exhibitors from 30 countries featured in the esteemed fair. These galleries aim to present a captivating glimpse into contemporary Malaysian art alongside other renowned Southeast Asian and global galleries.

Richard Koh Fine Art and The Back Room

Richard Koh Fine Art, with spaces in Singapore, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur, is a key player in the Southeast Asian art scene, known for promoting both established and emerging Malaysian artists. The Back Room, a Kuala Lumpur-based gallery, is equally recognized for spotlighting bold, experimental works by Malaysian talents.

Together, these galleries will contribute a dynamic mix of styles and artistic narratives to ART SG 2025, reflecting Malaysia’s deepening presence in the regional art market. Both galleries are expected to connect with international collectors and enthusiasts, fostering a cultural exchange that underscores the diversity and talent in Malaysia’s art community.

Singapore Art Week 2025

ART SG 2025 will coincide with Singapore Art Week (January 17–26, 2025), a significant event in Singapore’s cultural calendar celebrating visual arts through exhibitions, programs, and museum partnerships across the city.

The fair itself, presented by UBS, Founding and Lead Partner, will feature exhibitions from premier global galleries like Gagosian, White Cube, and Thaddaeus Ropac, establishing a high-caliber platform for Southeast Asian galleries, including those from Malaysia, to reach wider audiences.

Visitors will experience art from a spectrum of cultures, along with specially curated programs by partners such as the Bangkok Kunsthalle and the Delfina Foundation.

Strengthening role in the Southeast Asian art scene

The presence of Richard Koh Fine Art and The Back Room at ART SG underscores Malaysia’s growing role in the Southeast Asian art ecosystem. Their participation highlights Malaysian contributions to contemporary art in an international arena, particularly at a time when interest in the region’s cultural scene is rising.

ART SG provides an exceptional opportunity for these galleries to elevate Malaysian art within a global context, reinforcing the country’s position as a vital participant in Southeast Asia’s flourishing art market.
