The artist, however, has protested the decision. TMI reported that Ahmad Fuad gave an ultimatum demanding that either all his paintings are reinstalled, or the gallery shut the entire exhibition down. Last week, the gallery said it would consider reinstating the four paintings after pressure from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, which was critical of the establishment’s decision to bring the artworks down.
His deputy, Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik, was said to have instructed the gallery’s board to reconsider reversing its policy.The exhibition, entitled started on October 28 and was slated to end February 28.
