"
Was wondering what the commotion and cheering was about, then I realised it's my neighbour, Evil Empire the art gallery that's conducting a drawing contest!"

12x Flashback: How Evil Empire Gave Back
36 artworks were kindly donated by young artists for our 12x event in June. To show our appreciation, Evil Empire gave these artists a chance to sell other works to our ballot holders.
Here's a feature on 5 works that artists have sold! They've also shared their thoughts on the unique experience of the 12x exhibition and ballot.
Sarah Choo | Parade of Lights
Oil on canvas | 100 cm x 60 cm| $550
About 12x
"12x allows us, young artists; to express our creativity in multi-disciplinary works . For one, it does not restrict artists to the medium of the artworks. Also it gives emerging artists space to showcase our talent, at the same time serving as a platform for us to communicate and interact with art appreciators."
Jonathan Maximilian Goh | Untitled (Landscape)
Mixed Media |45 cm x 45 cm each | $400
About the work
"My works aim to create a visual journey for the viewer, allowing the audience to engage in this Landscape visually, physically and conceptually. Through my process, I have learnt to understand my material and its nuances, and discover things unknown to me."
About 12x
"Art making is not complete without the artwork finding a home. It feels great to have an avenue to allow my artwork to sit in a new home where new viewers will be able to enjoy its existence."
Tan Wei An Joshua | The Machinist
Photography | 13 cm x 21 cm | $15
About the work
"
This 'botak' tree, standing alone on a hill, caught my eye on a trip back to my old primary school in Malaysia. As I leaned out the car window to capture the fleeting moment, something about it struck me as extremely poignant."
About 12x
"Sometimes we can get too absorbed in our own works to critique ourselves properly. The exposure at 12x offers a great wake up call. You get to see which works are more popular and maybe even over-hear the reasons why. You get to ask others for feedback - just remember that it's all part of a experience that they purchase, rather than an art work per se."
Elizabeth Lim Su Ying | Don Vito Corleone
Illustration | 13 cm x 21 cm | $15
About the work
"
DVC represented my British Angora
rabbit, named Skunk Rockstar McOreo whose personality is very much like the Don... He rules my 2 dogs and is very territorial, but sweet ONLY to the ones he accepts."About 12x
" 12x really steps it up because the diversity of the works there are insane, and the fact that we could physically see who likes/doesn't like our works, who brings our works home, and how people react to it as well. The feeling of someone actually wanting/being open to understanding your work is a really great experience."
Roy Wang Han Yi | Fantasies of a Concrete Jungle
Digital Photography | 30 cm x 42 cm
About the work
"My photographic piece, using a futuristic, fantastical and imaginative approach which i really like, and is pretty childlike and vulnerable in many sense, questions whether nature, in the future, would exist simply as a fantasy or a constructed fragment of our history."
About 12x
"I think it provides a tremendous platform for young artists to have a first hand experience in dealing with the commercial side of art, talking to buyers and speaking about their work in public to many people… It was great fun too, meeting so many new people, people who appreciate art or artists themselves, providing ample networking networking opportunities."
