About the Item
A peaceful landscape scene is set in shades of blue with pale yellow and ivory in this oval encaustic (pigmented beeswax) painting with oil, pigments from Morocco and India, volcanic ash from Ecuador, rice paper, gold leaf, electronic components from circuit boards and transferred images on an oval panel.
A young girl wearing a floral patterned dress stands looking towards a baby giraffe standing on a platform. Tiny blue shapes with a checkered outline are perched in the weeping tree branches overhead, appearing at first glance to be small birds but upon closer inspection are actually tiny swaddled infants called guaguas, a native Quichua word from South America, a universal and metaphorically rich symbol that runs throughout Cecile Chong's work. Signed and titled on verso.
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.

Blue Moon Rising Tree Print on Glass with White Gold leaf in white frame frame
Located in London, GB
"I am primarily driven by an exploration of colour and form. My objective is to bring an emotional is to bring an emotional element and aesthetic balance to my work."
"It came to me in the middle of the night - as these things often do - that to incorporate gold leaf into the finished print would neatly encapsulate some of the elements I am trying to express. Its application would obviously have to be done by hand with all its attendant imperfections and mistakes. Kintsugi - the Japanese art of patching broken ceramics with gold - shares its aesthetic with Wabi Sabi." - Valda Bailey...
