Fantastic work by Singaporean artist Su-en Wong. Her work is primarily about her complicated existence as an Asian woman in Western culture. On initial impressions her work seems colourful and sweet but closer examination reveals a mood of political discontent.
In her exciting paintings, Wong utilises her favorite subject, herself, to visually critique, satirise, subjugate, and exploit stereotypes of Asian women as passive, pre-pubescent, and sexually objectified. Her paintings consist of multiple, nearly identical versions of herself, mostly naked, against monochrome candy colored backgrounds.
