ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The place where I am full of ideas and emotions is when I was in the bathroom. During the process of ìWho am I (I) and (II), from the draft to the completion, my mind occupied with a lot of past memories, they are happy and sad and I translated these moods to my paintings using my own visual language. I used a very narrow space to suggest a sense of oppression, and the bathtub is like a rectangular frame that trapped myself. It was as if disconnected with the outside world. I want to show a melancholy atmosphere.

LIEW MEI TOONG 廖梅彤 (b. 1996, Johor bahru) received her Diploma in Fine Art (2017) from the Dasein Academy of Art in Kuala Lumpur. My works explore the people in my lifeblood that I observed and encounter in different times and space. They record my inner emotions swing as well as my sentiments towards outer experiences including childhood memories, trivial of everyday life and my personal experiences when encountering people. Time refers the past, now and moments of a day, whilst space refers to venue, location and existence that consist of subjective materiality. And people refer to the familiars and strangers. The content of the works shuttles between togetherness, parting, sadness and anxiety about conditions of life. I enjoy expressing my sensible side with broken images and textured surface. I attempted to present vicissitude, loneliness, depression and helplessness found within the cause and effect of life. I adopt the techniques of building, destroying and repairing in my work. It suggests a sense of life mending within the process of arranging, taking away and rearranging. The works allow the viewers to engage in a narrative concerning the complication of life.
