THE ART OF SUSIE WONG

Portrait

Utterly Art, Singapore

VWFA, Kuala Lumpur

 

Wong is a participant of this 16-member group show curated by Noor Mahmun Mohamed in Kuala Lumpur. Artists are selected from the southeast Asian region from Philippines, Thailand to Indonesia. Extract from the curator from the catalogue Portraits (2004): “A portrait can be treated like a small landscape in terms of its formal possibilities. Susie Wong…create(s) an emotional distance between the subject and the viewer. Susie Wong paints her mother as Woman Leaning Against Table using the table as a barrier.”
