ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Laputa is an imaginary scape, where mountains float between the clouds. The sense of space and the laws of gravity are subverted. The amalgamation of soft organic clouds, hard lines and mountains provide a view of an idealised place where the viewer is invited to imagine and dream within the gaps. Laputa is a diptych painting on two panels of wood. The mountains are hand-burned with pyrography and the gold embellishments have been completed with liquid leaf. The panels are not attached to each other and can be hung either flush together or with a gap between.

Michelle Loa Kum Cheung
United Kingdom
Michelle Loa Kum Cheung is a London based artist, recently relocated from Sydney, Australia. Loa Kum Cheung’s art is a study of the fragmentation and fabrication of memory and place, real or imagined. To inform her work, she draws on the natural world as a symbol of constant transience and decay. Loa Kum Cheung’s current practice is a response to her own dislocation from her cultural heritage and identity as an Australian with a Chinese Mauritian background. She employs the use of oil, gold leaf and pyrography in her paintings and drawings, favouring the raw materiality of wood as a base. Referencing contrasting modes of documentation, from old family photos to satellite earth imagery, Loa Kum Cheung aims to fabricate nostalgia for an imagined past and place, both familiar and alien.
