Patrick Lasak

Patrick Lasak has become one of Penang's distinguishable characters at least in the Art circle.  Caliming to be th Artist Etraordinaire , Patrick goes all out to promote himself as an artist and rightfully so. Hist works are true to his character at least in size. But Patrick is a down to earth kind of guy who knows and plays the Art scene in Penang well and if he keeps it up will turn himself into an icon for the Art lovers here.
The show was launched by an art collector and  one  of Penang's long time expatriate who has been a great supporter of the Arts in Penang along with his beautiful wife who inherited the cultural heritage of the Penang Chinese in the form of antiques as well as historical knowledge.
Mr. Peter Hast is the G Hotel general Manager who is here being presented with one of Patrick's paintings which he did at the show and took him eleven minutes to complete.
