Random tree

Picture of a tree that was in season in August and flowering and in turn giving a strong smell, which becomes very obvious at night. The smell macam Jasmine, reminds me of the Pontianak mau datang or dekat.

Spaces - Hilmi Johandi, Tristan Lim, Ian Tee, Debbie Ding, Sheryl Chua and Kray Chen

This exhibition is held from 4th August to 15th September 2018 at Ota Fine Arts at Gillman Barracks.

The exhibition showed works from Hilmi Johandi, Tristan Lim, Ian Tee, Debbie Ding, Sheryl Chua and Kray Chen.

Hilmi's works were ok. Didn't quite like his colour palette. Ian Tee's blanket wasn't too bad, but we preferred the one he showed at Grey Project's show "The direction I rub one matters". Debbie Ding's works were interesting. Kray Chen's supermarket was really nice, it was a 2 channel work of him supposedly walking about the supermarkets in France.

Points for collectors: Not sure if we would get anything from this exhibition but all the artists are skilled and talented. But we also give Hilmi and Kray Chen buy ratings. Ian Tee interesting and got to see where he goes.

Size Matters: A Question of Scale

This exhibition was held from 23rd June to 22nd July 2018 over at Chan+Hori Contemporary over at Gillman Barracks.

This show was of large scale works from their stable of artitsts. Loi Cai Xiang, Simon Ng, Si Jae Byun, Ruben Pang, Gerald Leow, Ivan David Ng, Esmond Loh, Belinda Fox and Shahrul Jamili Miskon.

Nice interesting works. Esmond Loh was doing something radically different.

Points for collectors: We like Loi Cai Xiang, Simon Ng, Ruben Pang and Ivan David Ng. The rest of the artists are good too. 

Alma Matter - NAFA Alumni

This exhibition was held from 24th May to 17th June 2018 at Chan+Hori Contemporary over at Gillman Barracks.

This exhibition features works by Samuel Chen, Khairul Ikhwan, Warren Khong, Fiona Koh, Loi Cai Xiang, Justin Loke, Ong Si Hui, Ezzam Rahman, Sebastian Mary Tay and Ella Wijt.

Ezzam Rahman's work caught our eye. He showed 3 of his skin works. But this time he had better control of his medium. The works were covered with resin and planted into a carbon substrate and arranged aesthetically nicely like flowers. Conceptually strong and aesthetically pleasing.

Points for collectors: Ezzam Rahman is a strong buy. Loi Cai Xiang is given a buy rating too. We like Warren Khong, Ong Si Hui and Justin Loke too.
