Just Beyond - Art Fellas

This exhibition was held last weekend 14th to 17th November 2014 by the The Art Fellas gallery at the Ion art space.

The three artists featured were Danya Yu, Tew Bee Lan and Yen Phang.

Tew Bee Lan is a abstract artist, the main works presented were the poured coloured and mixing it about. Interesting but nothing innovative. Ok I guess.

Yen Phang was more interesting working with gel and paint to create an installation of small tiles which are sold individually. He did some 'negative' paintings of a medical subjects and some coloured abstract pieces. More interesting.

Danya Yu, I have mentioned before in a few posts earlier. Much better works here than the ones she presented at Fresh Air Fine Art. She had a new pilgrim series and Paris series which were good.

Points for collectors: The works were priced very reasonably at the exhibition. Yen Phang and Tew Bee Lan; not a buy yet for serious collectors but nice pieces at a good price point. Danya Yu is evolving, the Pilgrim Pieces and the Paris pieces are a buy. Art Fellas is a new gallery less than a year old. But the man behind the company has a good business sense, hope he's not only in this for the money (art boom or bubble in Sg now) and develops a good program for the young artist who are paid a stipend by him.

  1. Just wanted to thank you for the post, 75grams and Pizza Queen! An important reminder for one to always push one's concepts (and craft), and also to continually learn from the good artists around us, be they in Singapore or elsewhere.

    Great blog! Definitely benefited from your candour and honesty.

    Cheers
    Yen
