Artist Reviews:
By Tracy Zollinger Turner
For Columbus Alive Nov. 1,
2007
Leah Wong used to paint
figurative landscapes in
oil—literal visions of her
Northeast China homeland. But
when she came to the United
States, the bend of its trees
and the shapes of its cities
felt too foreign to capture.

Artist Statement for Leah Wong
|
|
|
My work presents an allegory of human thought and society. I portray a landscape of the mind and a perspective on life. Having grown up in northeast China where the traditional popular paper-cut suffused my imagination, I coat colors onto paper, cut thousands of imaginative, abstract-representational creatures. I conjure narratives—spontaneous, playful, and animated—from experience, observations, memories, and dreams. Then I apply multiple layers of my paper cutout figures onto canvas or board with a gesso ground and apply acrylic paint. Gestural and dimensional paint marks and a vivid palette energize the surface and create a sense of relief.
