Caroline Wong

For Wong, the act of creating, much like eating, is sensuous and consuming. Whether found, recovered, or taken from life-models, images of women are her work’s foundation. As the connecting tissue of her practice is a subversive response to traditional, restricted, representations of East Asian women, she looks for a kind of confidence, a rebellion, an emotional voluptuousness in her subjects which translates to the way she works.

Wong luxuriates in the epicurean side of herself, producing excitable, expressive marks and heated, joyful colour driven by a hedonistic desire for fun, producing work that is a jubilant pushback against tradition.
