In remembrance of the 13th years of his passing, it is indeed a great honour for Curate Henry Butcher and Galeri Prima to curate this important exhibition, A Tribute To Jeri Azhari, at Galeri Prima from July 8 – 26, 2019.

Jeri or Ahmad Azhari Mohd Nor was our very own pop art legend. This tribute celebrates Jeri’s contribution to the Malaysian art scene, especially in Pop influence. Sixty-six of Jeri’s works on display are sourced from strong provenance – 65 pieces are from his widow, Puan Sita while one piece, a portrait of Tan Sri Azman Hashim, is from Tan Sri Azman’s own collection.

The exhibition is even more momentous as it is held at Galeri Prima, of which the New Straits Times (NST) is a custodian, as Jeri was a graphic artist with the newspaper for 10 years. It is also timely as the NST commemorates its 174th anniversary this month – the same month Jeri passed away.
