Entranced and Terrified by The Strange Women and Their Macabre Stories showcases paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations by Khairul Azmir Shoib (Meme), inspired by works of four women artist/writers who have been the subject of his studies for many years: Holly Black (The Chronicle of Spiderwicks), Camille Rose Garcia (The Magic Bottle), Audrey Niffeneggar (Her Fearful Symmetry, The Adventures), and surrealist painter Leonora Carrington. These figures are known for their inherent style and influence to the gothic ethos. A true fan of the tradition himself, Meme expands his visual language to the realms of dreams and the subconscious. With Entranced And Terrified By The Strange Women And Their Macabre Stories, Meme takes us further into the other side of what seemed to be an innocent fairytale, into more complex labyrinth of strange stories and tales of deeper mysteries and nightmares.
