A successful month-long art exhibition in Sunway Square Mall by two-year-old prodigy Titus Ren Khoo-Selbaraju, has earned him recognition byParenthood Records as the Youngest Artist in Malaysia to Hold a Solo Art Exhibition, marking a significant milestone in his early artistic journey.
Hosted at the mall’s L1 Indoor Plaza throughout April, the A New Dawn exhibition marked a significant milestone in Malaysia’s creative scene, positioning Titus Ren as the youngest solo art exhibitor in the country.
Small hands, wide vision
The showcase featured 13 original artworks, each hand-painted by the young artist. Working purely from instinct and inspiration, his pieces explore a vivid interplay of colours, ranging from bold contrasts to harmonious blends, resulting in compositions that are both expressive and unfiltered.
Despite his age and having no formal artistic training or family background in the arts, Titus Ren has demonstrated a natural flair for painting, especially with remarkable sensitivity to colour and form.
“Titus Ren showed an early sensitivity to colour—he could recognise shades like turquoise and maroon at a very young age,” shared his mother, Tiffany Khoo.
“He first started painting when he was just over one year old. It began casually when we were doing paint-by-numbers, and we let him explore behind the canvas. What he created was unexpectedly abstract, expressive, and visually striking,” she explained.
A canvas for community and experiences
The exhibition also reflects Sunway Square Mall’s ongoing commitment to fostering community engagement and providing a platform for unique and emerging talents. By hosting A New Dawn, the mall remains steadfast in being more than a retail destination, serving as a space for community connection and shared experiences.
“It has been truly heartening to see families, shoppers, and art lovers come together to experience Titus Ren’s work. There’s something very pure about the way he creates, and we’re grateful to have been part of his journey by giving him a platform to share that with the community,” said Albert Cheok, Senior Director of Sunway Square Mall.
Titus Ren’s art has drawn attention from visitors and collectors alike, with several pieces sold for thousands of ringgit.
A New Dawn exhibition will end on 30 April 2026, leaving a strong impression on visitors and marking the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary artistic journey for Titus Ren.
