Born and raised in Bandarban, Khing Shai Mong shares a deep connection with the region's people, land, and natural landscape. The foundation of his artistic journey began there, with the local environment, daily life, and communities continuing to serve as key sources of inspiration. At a time when many artists choose to debut their solo shows in the capital or abroad, Khing's decision to hold his first exhibition in his birthplace reflects his strong attachment to his roots.
The exhibition features landscapes, portraits, and depictions of life and livelihood in Bandarban, presented both directly and metaphorically. Executed in a realistic style, the works highlight the artist's technical skill alongside his emotional bond with the region.
Khing Shai Mong has invited art lovers, patrons, members of civil society, and residents of Bandarban to visit the exhibition. He has also encouraged families to allow their children to take part in a children's drawing session scheduled for December 20. The artist expressed his gratitude to all patrons, supporters, and collaborators who helped make the exhibition possible.
