ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Passage is part of a series of works exploring the artist's growing geographical dislocation between her family lineage, her real present and imagining the future. The imagery are elemental extracts from old family photography, social media and Google Earth images - specifically of places the artist has never personally been and never experienced but are imbued with the tones and hues of the Orient.

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.
