Penang-based British artist Thomas Powell launches book of collected works

GEORGE TOWN, July 16 — If you visited Penang in the last few years, chances are you would have seen one of Thomas Powell’s Chinese zodiac-inspired murals around the city.

There was also the impressive spear-wielding Guan Yu as a dragon riding a red horse and dressed in emerald green on the exterior wall of the Dripping’ Dragon Hostel on Hutton Lane. The book will be launched today but is already available at Powell’s art gallery on Armenian Street. The work will be a combination of Asian and Western cultures interposed with messages to force viewers to think, reflect and perhaps change mindsets, he said.

“I hope to complete the new works and hold an exhibition by the end of this year or early next year,” he said.
