Lily Wong (née en 1989) est diplômée en gravure (Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, 2011) et en peinture (CUNY Hunter College, New York, 2020). Elle fusionne des références spirituelles à la vie contemporaine, avec l’imagerie classique de l’Asie de l’Est. Les personnages qui occupent son œuvre ont des traits exagérés et les émotions illicites qui consomment une grande partie de la vie contemporaine : anxiété, peur, amour, perte. Avec une formation en gravure, Wong a un don quasi électrique pour animer une composition par la couleur et la narration.

Lily Wong (1989, lives and works in Brooklyn) graduated in Printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, in 2011, and Painting at CUNY Hunter College, New York, in 2020. She fuses witty references to contemporary life with classical East Asian imagery. The figures which occupy Wong’s work have exaggerated features and illicit emotions that consume much of modern life: anxiety, fear, love, and loss. With a background in printmaking, Wong has an electric ability to enliven a composition with color and narrative.
