For our latest installation, “Hauntings”, TRX Canvas Collective invites the audience to reflect on the invisible traces that lingers. This showcase explores the idea of not just the supernatural, but memories, emotions, and fleeting moments that stubbornly remain even when they are long gone.
Artists respond to “Hauntings” through dark reflections and shadows, dreamlike imageries, and eerie scenes that are simultaneously tender. Each piece communicates a personal interpretation of what it means to be haunted by something once felt, once seen, or once real. Thoughtful and visceral, this exhibition calls you to pause and probe what still waits beneath the surface.
Explore each piece and uncover their stories. Learn more about the artists and their inspirations.
For any enquiries on the art pieces, please message/WhatsApp +6019-274-8000

Mimpi Indah
Artist Statement:
A darkness filled with haunting beauty, a nightmare cloaked in shadow, yet laced with wonder. Memories blend and refuse to be buried. Thousands of scattered objects become markers of a journey. I remember how beautiful the sky was just before it turned into a storm. The atmosphere grows dim, yet feels real, suffocating, and unforgettable. I peer into memories that shape the eternal dream. I keep walking through corridors, searching for a door to peace. I strain behind the silence that threatens, the chains that bind the soul. Pale, expressionless faces call out, urging me to awaken to begin a new journey, to create boundless, beautiful dreams once more.
A Beautiful Nightmare presents a paradox: the fusion of fear and beauty. Within the nightmare lie hidden meanings — the terrifying, the traumatic, the painful, the abandoned — all becoming life lessons, offering the beauty of forgiveness, acceptance, and healing. It is the hidden beacon within darkness. In this beautiful nightmare, a new world is created filled with strange yet captivating elements, just like in real life. There is always light within darkness. And with that, the belief that even in despair, hope will always find a way to emerge.

The Crown of Ruin
Artist Statement:
We inherit the ruins we create. Pride, silence, and small acts of cruelty gather until they sit upon us like a crown.
The winged figure is neither god nor judge, but witness — a quiet reminder of consequence. Around it lie the remnants of ambition, decay, and forgotten voices.
The Crown of Ruin asks: when all fades, what remains of us? Only the weight of what we’ve built, and the truth of what we’ve destroyed.
Nurul ‘Ain Syahirah (Syrcaa)
Syrcaa creates intricate, unsettling works that blur the line between elegance and the grotesque. Drawing inspiration from dreams, decay, and the human psyche, their art invites viewers into a world both haunting and beautiful.

When I Look Away
Artist Statement:
I’ve always been scared of spiders. For this work, I wanted to face that fear in a quiet way, through the shape it leaves behind. The cut-out and crumpled paper remind me how fear can stay with you, even when what you’re afraid of isn’t there anymore.

Wabak Yang Tak Sembuh
Artist Statement:
This artwork is a personal expression and reflection on the lingering guilt born from time wasted and moments unappreciated with loved ones. It serves as a reminder to myself not to repeat the same mistakes and to cherish the presence and time that often go unnoticed until they are gone.
The guilt is portrayed as an unhealed epidemic that returns in the form of inner disturbance and restless noise that haunts the mind. The red mosquitoes serve as a metaphor for this persistent guilt. Their buzzing represents the unease of thought, while their bites symbolize small wounds that may seem temporary yet leave lasting marks.
This work explores the struggle between remorse and self-forgiveness. It invites the viewer to reflect that human beings are not made to be perfect, but to learn, fall and rise again with newfound awareness. Forgiving oneself is not a sign of weakness, but a proof that the soul can grow from the wounds left behind by the past.

In my solitude, the fridge starts singing
Artist Statement:
Pandemic in 2020 when the world halted, loneliness and uncertainty unexpectedly gave rise to creativity, particularly in the kitchen. The food became self-expression, shared recipes sparking hope celebrating beauty in simplicity while challenging perception. Fusion symbols of Malaysia’s cultural tapestry emerge: sandwiches and ice cream meet petai and budu creating provocative pairings like petai ice cream, budu topping, and peanut butter-pickled sandwiches. These daring combinations embody humanity’s courage to innovate amid hardship. This is a tribute to resilience: how, in stillness, we rose not just to survive, but to create, to heal, and to find hope in the most unexpected flavours.

BERSERK (Series of 5)
Artist Statement:
The body is a gateway to emotion, but the hands hold a fragile truth — revealing what the mind strives to conceal. They represent the vessels of unrest, bridging the unseen turmoil within to the world outside.
Each contorted gesture mirrors the torment of being caught between creation and collapse — a cycle both necessary and consuming.
The series reflects a mind that cannot rest — always reaching, always creating, even in silence. The hands speak where words fall short, unveiling the quiet beauty and psychological ache of creation itself.

Echoic Teethhide
Artist Statement:
This work uses teeth as a gateway to memory, focusing specifically on hearing memory. The painting depicts two children playing hide-and-seek-not in the real world, but in the realm of a dream. The teeth appear cracked and broken, symbolizing fragmented memories and the fragility and uncertainty of childhood memories. Beneath the teeth is a dental extractor, which metaphorically functions as a tool for retrieving memories, slowly pulling forgotten fragments from the depths of the subconscious.
Auditory elements permeate the piece in subtle, suggestive ways - there are no actual sounds, yet the viewer can "see" the shattering crack of teeth, the metallic tightening of the dental tool, and the repeated appearance of sheep, alluding to a state of sleep. These imagined sounds resemble whispers in a dream-blurred yet vivid echoes that seem to emanate from deep inside the mouth. The work invites the viewer to listen to the sounds that cannot be seen, but are embedded in the structures of the body and memory.
Tan Ying Jueng
A visual artist based in Kuala Lumpur specializing in surrealist painting. Her recent works reimagine the natural order as a metaphor for human hierarchy, revealing the tender absurdity hidden within everyday reality. Through dreamlike imagery and fragmented narratives, she explores the tension between innocence and corruption, nature and control. Currently participating in the Dasein Fine Art Department Artist Residency Programme, Jueng continues to expand her exploration of surrealism and the dreamlike state, using experimentation as a way to deepen her understanding of perception and emotion.
