Volkswagen Malaysia chose to go with a medley of art forms for their Polo’s 40^th anniversary: photography, illustration, fashion, and music – all rolled into one. In Malaysia, the Volkswagen team collaborated with fashion lifestyle photographer Vincent Paul Yong Photography (VPYP) to produce a collection of photographs that mirror the Polo’s fun and practical character.

The photo-story that resulted involved DJ duo LAPSAP and includes graffiti illustrations by artist Cloakwork, which was then revealed during a launch event at the Art Printing Works (APW) in Bangsar titled WYSIWYG, or What You See Is What You Get.

Do head down there to enjoy the exhibition, which also features exciting and thought provoking works from other artists and photographers. There you’ll also find the unique chrome Volkswagen Polo displayed alongside the artwork, an exhibition piece all on its own.

The showcase will be open to the public from the 21^st until the 30^th of August at the Art Printing Works in Bangsar, so be sure to check it out.
