This exhibition has to do with Chen Wen Hsi's Gibbons and all those fakes floating around. It questions whether authorship is important and that a good painting/fake is good regardless, and should tagging it really affect its value.
It's a good topic to bring up. And to make the painting more attractive and relatable to the general audience he makes the Gibbons do modern things like take public transport, gambling, queueing for 4d.....
Interesting concepts. Ok paintings I guess. Don't think their ink painting skill level is very high though.
Points for collectors: Justin Loke is a buy rating. We like his other works, but I will give this series a miss. Samuel Chen not sure.
