About the Item

This work features a chaotic yet harmonious blend of colors and lines. "Veins of Satirical Sad" is a captivating imagery of abstract expressionism that vitalized a landscape with its raw, unbridled and dynamic integration. The canvas is punctuated by bold area of bluish-purple. A series of fluid, semi-swirling-white dotted lines that overlap and flow like white veins through the painting, zooming a hint of vague and insubstantial, which is perhaps reflected in the wielding brushstrokes and its with facility and unexpected combinations, conveying a sense of both stoic and resilience. The sweeping brushstrokes and jagged lines hereby convey a sense of tension and conflict, as if the canvas itself is struggling for balance. And yet, there is an allusive perception of beauty and gracefulness rooted deep into its composition, which tones for a hope of change in the midst of darkness. It is a thought-provoking and expressively emotional mind of art in which the core aesthetics of its new details and technical textures will have to be revealed upon individual’s different personal perspective. From 2022 to 2023, Cymn extended a soul karma in her Washington saloon that spearheads to create a masterful suited style of American ethos. The ethos showcases an accomplishment in self-realization of aesthetic views of both Eastern and Western cultures. Wong attempts to vitalize certain built-in imageries and present the visual world via a dynamic interaction for human passion with the environment and the universe. In retrospect about the reciprocity between poetry and art, Cymn’s artistic attainments are expanding into a vivid oasis that she has been stimulated in an international platform. Three turning points of creativity for Cymn Wong’s recent paintings: (1) SHIFT IN AESTHETICS: From traditional Chinese painting to contemporary New York Abstract Expressionism; (2) DRIFT IN POETICS: From poetic vision to Zen mindful calligraphy-landscape; (3) TWIST IN CONTEXT: From Hong Kong to American Experiences. Cymn renders abstract landscapes with a particular frame of mind in poetry that reveals the meaning of painting intoxicated by its mood and image. For example, by incorporating the shape of the bean sprout into visual language, her art creates an alternative way of revealing the wisdom of Zen philosophy and its insights. The unique aesthetic of her paintings is a fusion of the fluidity and freedom of abstract expressionism with the contemplative practice of Zen calligraphy. This integration of passionate energy and meditative stillness presents a landscape that is holistically dynamic and contemplative, evocative and reflective. The bean sprout is a crystalized symbol. Its unique shape evokes the numbers "0" and "1". The "0" of the bean sprout represents nothingness or emptiness, a void that is pregnant with potential. The "1", on the other hand, represents possibilities and growth. The dynamic interplay between these two facets for growth, meanwhile its renewal is inherent continuously in every moment. In short, Cymn Wong’s painting is imbued with subtle fuse of intrinsic imagery and poetic fluidity, allowing the inner-echoes to lead the brushstrokes on its own accord. With a heightened sense of life vigor that goes beyond a mere representation, Cymn is sensitized and mindful free to present a transformed landscape anew.
