Selamat Datang

"Selamat Datang" is Malaysian language means "Hello; Welcom".

Selamat Datang - Highway Sign

On Malaysian highways, signs bearing the phrase “Selamat Datang” (“Welcome”) are a common sight. As an artist who has lived abroad for many years, Radio Woon always feels a deep sense of warmth and familiarity whenever he returns home and see these signs while driving along the highway.

Illustration Zine - Balik Kampung

The zine is talking about a road trip story in Malaysia based on the artist’s own travel experience.
 
In 2023, Radio Woon held his first solo exhibition in Kuala Lumpur called “Balik Kampung” (it means “returning home” in Malay). Before that Radio hadn’t been back to hometown for three years due to the Covid-19. The big changes of Malaysia made Radio felt like a stranger and he realized he needed a trip to get a better known of his country. After the exhibition, Radio and his wife hit the road for a 7-day self-drive tour, aiming to discover some unexplored spots. The journey wasn’t long, but it was packed and full of surprises and new discoveries.
 
Radio Woon is trying to express his finding and experience from the road trip in his own unique way - maker pen, illustrations and a zine.

This zine was home printed and hand binding with limited edition of 50 copies.

My Boring Moments (Acrylic on Canvas)

At the end of 2023, the artist created a series of acrylic paintings titled “My Boring Moments.” Each piece features a different character and posture, filling the canvas with a singular figure. Through this series, the artist explores and interprets the state of “boredom,” capturing its subtle nuances. This marks Radio Woon’s first focused and systematic body of work in acrylic on canvas.
Drawing inspiration from everyday life and childhood memories, the artist aims to connect with viewers through a deeply personal and introspective lens.

Kaiju Lepak (Acrylic on Skateboard)

Commissioned by A4A Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, this duo artwork was created for and showcased in the gallery’s opening exhibition. It was completed in late 2024.
