The World of Tim Burton in Kuala Lumpur

Organised by Toybox Projects Sdn Bhd in conjunction with partners KOL Nation Sdn Bhd and Eurasian Entertainment Consultants Ltd, and supported by venue partner, Pavilion Bukit Jalil, The World of Tim Burton focuses on the distinctive characters and worlds that could only come from Tim Burton’s singular imagination.

Comprised of approximately 540 works—including signature pieces from the Tim Burton retrospective as well as over 150 new works not seen in the MoMA exhibition tour—The World of Tim Burton gives new audiences an opportunity to experience Burton’s art in person for the first time and treats familiar visitors to an in-depth look further into his sensibility.

The exhibition features numerous works from Tim Burton’s early ages to the most recent project across mediums of sketches, paintings, drawings, photographs, maquettes and puppets he used for his film works, and life-sized sculptures. Along with the artist’s signature figure of Balloon Boy at the entrance of the exhibition are numerous, remarkable sculptures that were newly designed specifically for the exhibition.

The World of Tim Burton has categorized Tim Burton’s extensive career of five decades into 10 thematic sections. Each section is composed of paintings, drawings, photographs and videos, media arts, etc.

In this exhibition, a special opportunity sneak peek into the current projects in progress will be provided to the audience through the exact replica of Tim Burton’s personal studio where he actually works.
