He said the pieces he picked for the exhibition were those that he believed Nasir would have wanted to be exhibited if he was still around. His brother, Nizom, 38, said Nasir’s death was so sudden that they were still trying to come to terms with it. Being unable to attend his funeral left a void in his family and made it harder for them to accept his sudden passing so the exhibition was their way of saying goodbye to him.
Nizom said he and Nasir used to draw comic characters when they were younger and Nasir had always loved to draw. The family of late Nasir Nadzir pose with the last incomplete painting made by Nasir during the exhibition held at The Art Gallery, Pulau Tikus May 7, 2021. — Picture by Sayuti Zainudin
