The move towards showcasing Bruneian art to the world can increasingly be felt, with the Russian ambassador to Brunei recently remarking that works of Bruneian artists deserve to be seen in the international market to help the world to know more about the Sultanate. The Brunei Arts Forum is a locally-based collective of Bruneian artists and has been instrumental in the development of the Bruneian arts scene at home and abroad. With a population of just over 400,000, the tiny country of Brunei is keen to make the presence of its burgeoning arts scene felt internationally, and the Brunei Gallery in London is committed to promoting artists from this region of the world.
