About the Item

A peaceful landscape scene is set in shades of atmospheric sky blue with pale yellow and ivory accented with sculptural elements along the bottom in green and ochre in this contemporary 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. Signed and titled on verso. A young girl wearing a patterned dress reaches up towards a table set with a tablecloth and a still life arrangement with a teapot, while a woman in traditional Asian attire and hairstyle stands at the side facing towards the child and the table. Tiny yellow ochre shapes are perched in the 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.
