VADA Untapped Discovery

This took place at Shophouse 5 from 19 to 23 Dec 2017. It's part of the series of exhibitions by young emerging artists.

This edition featured:
- Bryan Tan - geometric paperworks
- Che Xinwei - semi-sculptural pieces on wood, and a separate piece of miniature wax figures
- Ernest Wu - photographs
- Fiona Seow - ink on paper and mounting board works
- Joshua Gomes - a unicorn and swing - loved these works
- Lim Zeharn - a super-tall pair of canvas shoes and a video on a moving monitor
- Ng Wu Gang - photographs
- Ong Lijie - drypoints and etchings

Nice and interesting works. I felt though, that some of the works didn't do justice to the artists' talents. But I'm optimistic because VADA artists tend to produce better stuff after VADA.

Points for collectors:
Definite buy rating for Joshua Gomes. That said, the rest are buyable too, although personally, I would watch them a bit more before buying. All have great potential.
