Artist Statement for Mike Wong Joon Fong
|
|
|
The creations of each painting are like journeys of learning and unlearning, putting on and taking off. The process saw me going through decisions, pains, experimental, fulfillment, and detachment until the intentions are realized. This process continues with you or ends with you, the spectator; the one who decided to live with or without the "realization", the one who declares the verdict.
I am into painting, theater, engineering, video and installations. Lately, I enjoy fusing the various art forms together. I accept project commissions as well.
In Mike’s paintings, he unleashed a cacophony of colours and textures over the canvas and this layers were then scraped off bit by bit with wipers and sticks to create his refreshing and vibrant paintings. This action sometimes surprises even the artist himself. It is like a conversation between the artist and canvas with paint as the language. This act of spontaneous execution revealed traces of what was hidden beneath the layers of paint. Often unhappy with the result, paints are thrown back in until the final result is realised. “I do not stop my struggle with the canvas until I know I am heard.” Mike said.
When a painting is completed, great amount of unwanted paint that was scraped off from the canvas are stored in bottles. The unwanted paint took on a new form. The tangible remains of the intangible exchange between artist and art.
