About the Item
Chong entangles cultural histories and language in her practice, utilizing found objects and layers of materials that speak to the fragility of life under global capitalism amidst the climate crisis. The artist’s spirited encaustic works reference traditional Chinese landscape painting and pull images appropriated from children's books from different cultures. Containing 25-30 layers of encaustic (heated beeswax, resin and pigment), Chong’s elegant paintings are applied on various wooden surfaces such as vintage ping pong paddles, long boards, and skate boards. These images are interspersed with rare materials sourced from around the world including circuit board components, volcanic ash from Ecuador, and pigments from Morocco and India.

Cecile Chong
A multimedia artist working in painting, sculpture and installation, Cecile Chong focuses on cultural assimilation and the development of individual identity. Chong uses encaustic, a medium dating to from the 5th century, to create cross-cultural contemporary narratives. By juxtaposing appropriated images from sources including vintage children's books or found objects such as circuit board parts, her work refers to interculturalism and transculturation. Born in South America to Chinese parents, Chong learned about her own cultural heritage as an outsider and the entanglement of culture, history and interpretation are themes that are of special interest to her.
