Liminal State - Ezekiel Wong, Lavender Chang, Stephanie Burt, Leonard Yang and Eunice Lim

This exhibition is held from 30th July to 31st August 2016 at Mizuma Gallery at Gillman Barracks.

This exhibition is another offering of local artists by Mizuma, last year was Michael Lee's show. This time the exhibition I heard was put together by Jane Koh, one of the gallerists at Mizuma, before she leaves to further her art studies. Anyway it was a good show and a nice mix of local artists.

Ezekiel Wong showed the works which he did for the AAF young talent programme. The legs covered by the lion dance fabric and the animated GIFs.

Eunice Lim did a paper cut which has to do about land reclamation and the space between Johor and Singapore. Like this work. The end result is a nice simple and aesthetically pleasing work.

Lavender Chang did photographs which were long exposure works of people in their own spaces sleeping. Interesting works too.

Leonard Yang did more of his paintings on photographs. This time the work was nicer, the colour palette was better and overall works were much better. He used nature photographs of Punggol as backdrops and painted in buildings, old European buildings with Roman columns or new buildings like the Marina Bay Sands. The work has to do with trees taking over cities, like at the end of the world or Dystopia/ dystopian society.

Stephanie did her installations of objects, some found, some bought and some made. Interesting works.

Points for collectors: All five of them are talented. Ezekiel is working hard and has another showing with Ipreciation later this month. Eunice has just returned from her residency in Australia and had shown recently at Instinc@Soho. Leonard Yang has improved very much after the VADA show. Lavender Chang does good photographs and Stephanie, good installation. Buy rating for all of them.
