Shifting Points - Tam Kwan Yuen

This exhibition is held from 7th to 15th March 2015 at Artcommune Gallery at Bras Basah Complex.

Ky Tam is currently the best young watercolourist in Singapore. He is really good at painting very detailed work with watercolour.

In this exhibition, he experiments more with softer edges. (Has to practice more with this style which I think he will be able to). But his more representative paintings are definitely superb. In fact he painted a large,  90cm x 180cm painting of the Singapore Skyline which was sold with a list price of SGD19K. And that piece was a well executed piece.

You should check out his website, http://kytam.com, to see his works.

Points for collectors: Strong Buy. He hasn't raised his price from his last exhibition. He is also actively entering overseas watercolour competitions and trying to get shown overseas. This international recognition is really important to an artist, because as a collector you want an international artist rather than a national artist (i.e. whose works are only in demand in his home country).
