UNIQUE PENANG
(

; 62 Love Lane; 5pm-midnight Sun-Fri, 9pm-midnight Sat)
This shophouse gallery
features the work of the friendly young owners, Clovis and Joey, as well as the colourful
paintings of the latter's young art students. As the couple point out, paintings are notori-
ously hard to squeeze in a backpack, so nearly all of the gallery's art is available in post-
card size.
