The Incredible Frolic - Khairullah Rahim
This exhibition is held from 17th March to 15th April 2018 at Yavuz Gallery over at Gillman Barracks.
Khairullah is currently represented by Yavuz Gallery.
This show was brilliant. He showed his sculptures; think there were 5 of them and I think all but 1 are sold. He also showed a a towel rack, words on walls, 3 paintings and an installation of 8 objects.
Really love his sculptures. Definitely an improvement from his 'Next Sunday' show. His works at OH! Holland village were lovely, think one was included in this show and it's a build on from there. Superb works with lots of thought, detail, meaning and visually stunning (works with visual dynamism).
His paintings were flat. But that's his style, intentionally unbalanced and a bit unsettling compared to pretty balanced paintings (i.e. photos following rules of 1/3s and so on). He should do a pretty painting soon to show his skills.
The installations were nice, pity it was sold as a whole. Because if its components were sold individually I think all would have been sold out.
Points for collectors: Super Strong buy. Having won the Impart Art Award, a fairly new award backed by the Art Gods and prominent collectors, he has been thrust into the limelight and his works are being bought by mainstream collectors. However, he has kept a level head with regards to his prices. Which are very reasonable. There are younger spring chickens asking higher prices for their work, which in their first few shows are bought by uncles, aunties and friends and only do themselves harm. Art school needs to teach them the principle of supply and demand. If you don't sell out, don't aim for the sky. Not everyone is a Jane Lee or Ruben Pang.

Nyanyi Sunyi - Various
This exhibition is held from 5th to 25th February 2018 at Gillman Barracks.
The exhibition is curated by Kamiliah Bahdar and Syaheedah Iskandar.
It features:
Nadiah Alsagoff - She did two really nice paintings on fabric. Really love her art. Considering that she doesn't do much painting, she is a good painter and she works at it.
Hilmi Johandi - Did some interesting work. Hilmi is good and on our artists page. Works here look like he is trying something new. Excited to see want he does for his MFA show.
Kin Chui - showed some rusty letter boxes... errr. Think he is a better cinematographer.
Kharrudin Wahab - Showed new works. Thought the ones at Ipreciation were better. Seems a step back for him. But 1 step back and 2 steps forward.
Rifqi Amirul - Showed the works he did at waxing and waning. The Pagar one - that was interesting. But after seeing all the other works he showed at this show, really have to sit on the sidelines before we can buy his works.
Izzad Razali Shah - Showed some interesting paintings. Very Indonesian like works. You would be forgiven if you thought the works were by an Indonesian artist. Works are interesting and good. But I'm not sure of his branding and considering he was born in 1986, he has very low visibility. But at least the works I think were reasonably priced.
Point for collectors: Nadiah and Hilmi - strong buys. Kin Chui - wrong category of works to judge him. Izzad - neutral - wait to see if he is more active before we can recommend a buy. Rifqi and Kharrudin - Neutral.

Swamp - Island - Poetry -Ripple Root
This exhibition is held from 9th February to 18th March 2018 at K+ gallery at Scott's Square.
Ripple Root is showing their works at this show. Some new works, some older works. Love their happy works. Brightens your day and cheers you up as you do your work. Whether it be house work or home work. Art doesn't have to be too serious all the time especially after spending a long day at work, and coming home to cheerful works is always nice.
Point for collectors: Buy rating for Ripple Root. But the prices listed for this exhibition are a bit on the high side.
