Lost City 3 - Tang Ling Nah, CK Kum, Hong Sek Chern and Geraldine Kang

This exhibition is held from 19th November to 6th December 2015 at Chan Hampe Gallery at Raffles Hotel.

Four artists are presented:
1. Tang Ling Nah - everybody knows her for her charcoal works. However, this time she presented a small installation/sculpture of her residual bits of charcoal. Looks like a little charcoal garden. And the silhouette of the charcoal onto the walls make it look like city towers.

2. Hong Sek Chern - presented 3 paintings which were all sold on opening night. She presented her signature architectural ink works. The difference from her earlier works is that the buildings or parts of the buildings are not fixed to a foreground but are now floating. She has reverted back to her familiar ink after presenting a series of oil on canvas in 2014 with Art 2 gallery.

3. Geraldine Kang - presented 7 photos in an installation, which I think have been presented before. It was from the series "of Two Bedrooms". Basically it's about her house/rooms and her grandmother and the relationship between them, herself and her grandmother. Really interesting. You can check out her blog to see her other works. One of the better young photographers. Love her works. (Footnote: think my 3 favourite photographers at this moment would be Robert Zhao, Geraldine Kang and Ho Rui An)

4. CK Kum - Presented reclaimed artifacts which were saved from a Joo Chiat PlayHouse, mainly a door and stairs

Points for collectors: Tang Ling Nah - buy rating for her charcoal works. Geraldine Kang -buy rating, really want to buy one if Pizza Queen agrees. Hong Sek Chern - Buy rating but a bit worried that she's doing too much of the same thing, a lot of her works floating about. CK Kum  - unsure, haven't seen enough of his works to make a fair comment.
