Speaking of art exhibitions that i liked... Matthew ngui's exhibition in substation which i saw last sunday was superb as well. Its one of the better combination of subject matter, process, methodology and end results that i have seen for a long time. This guy is a real pro. Just looking at the details and thoughts and efforts put into the piece was enough to awe me. I won't even attempt to systematically take it apart for analysis here because the pieces just fitted so well together. Sometimes artists can have great ideas but loses out in its execution. Other times, a great looking piece falls hallow because of a lack of depth. Matthew's show is one of those which is a good example of how ideas and methods can merge so beautifully to give such intriging and thoughtful art work. I would not venture to compare this piece with others and discuss their relative merits but given my limited understanding of art as a layman, i can only say that i admire him for his thoughfulness in his execution to bring out his message and the beauty of the art itself.
Highly recommended for the art teacher to bring his students, who has been struggling to convey to them the importance of both subject matter and the process. :)
