Sutra Gallery offers a unique alternative
space for visual arts in Malaysia and
is associated with Sutra Dance Theatre (SDT). For over 28 years, SDT
has spear-headed art exhibitions in
tandem with its dance productions.
With the formation of Sutra Gallery
in 1996, a consistent flow of figurative
works have emerged through the gallery’s
commissions and residency programmes.
Through the efforts and visions of Ramli
Ibrahim (SDT’s artistic director) and
Sivarajah Natarajan (Sutra Gallery’s
curator), the gallery has projected
Dance especially the Indian classical
dance styles of Odissi and Bharata
Natyam and also the declining Malay
pastimes of Makyong, Menora and
Main ‘ Teri as potent subject matter
in Malaysian visual arts. Sutra Gallery
represents luminaries such as Syed
Thajudeen Shaik Abu Talib, Sivarajah
Natarajan, Eric Peris (Malaysia), Loo

Charles Cham is known to create the

had previously lived and painted in
France, New York and Budapes. His
works are in the private collections

Cham’s work s are based on the
