If you are a fan of popular cartoonist Zukiflee Anwar Haque, better known as Zunar, here’s a chance for you catch all his art works.
According to Astro Awani, a total of 202 of his art works will be exhibited at the Penang State Art Gallery from 7 May until 28 May, for your viewing pleasure.
During the launch of the exhibition called 'The Art Of Freedom by Zunar', the 56-year-old was elated that his art works found a place at a major exhibition in Penang, especially after the incident in 2016 where his art works were removed from an exhibition in Komtar.
Zunar’s works also got thumbs up from Port Dickson MP Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who said he "can feel the pain Zunar’s went through in the drawings."
Anwar, who launched the exhibition, suggested that every art gallery in other states showcase Zunar's works.
In 2016, Zunar was arrested for drawing and publishing several comic strips which heavily criticised the previous government.
He was later charged in relation to nine political images he had posted online, with a potential penalty of up to 43 years in prison. Five of his books were also banned, on the grounds that their contents are “detrimental to public order”.
