This exhibition is held from 25th August till 17th September 2017 at Gajah Gallery.
It features 7 emerging artists.
Kayleigh Goh - We have featured her before. She did more cement works on wood again.
Kuat Zhi Hooi - He showed a traditional sign board, one commonly used in the old-school shops. Black lacquer with words engraved into it and painted gold. He also showed a found table which was engraved with chinese words of food on it.
Charlotte Lim - Showed paintings on organza and stitched onto stretched chiffon. Nice works. Skill wise not too bad. But we question the conservability of the medium used.
Gabrielle Tolentino - He did some sculptures / figurines. Nice works.
Leonard Wee - Did two paintings. Interesting but not quite there yet. Intelligent and motivated chap.
Wong Jia Yi - Did etching and aquatint on copper. Did one with many small discs of her FB friends. And another of open-bite etching on copperplates. Nice works.
Benedict Yu - did a collage of newspaper and painted UV words over it. And another oil painting.
Points for collectors:
Kayleigh Goh is a buy rating. Nice works which we like. Kuat Zhi Hooi - also a buy rating. interesting and fresh concepts. Charlotte Lim maybe a buy rating, but have to wait and see, if I am not incorrect, she hasn't graduated yet. Gabrielle also a buy rating. The sculptures are nice. Leonard Wee would be a hold and watch. He's a well informed guy so have to see him improve. Wong Jia Yi would be a buy rating but see where she goes with the copper or whether it's back to traditional print making. Benedict Yu interesting works. Might be trying a bit hard. But have to wait and see.
