ABOUT THE ARTWORK

There are zebra crossing, humanoid signs, street lights and more in those street signs in my paintings. These are things that we can see on the streets but tend to overlooked. "Street” may be considered the stream of life for a city or town that consists different flows of people. When I left a familiar space and arrived at an unfamiliar space, the process constantly reminds me about “gathering and parting”. The scene that I experienced along the road such as from far to near, small to large and then from large gradually turns into small again suggest there is a distant away. One can only keep moving forward, 30 kilometers, 20 kilometers, 10 kilometers, and every kilometer helps us to calculate the time we lost. I feel that "gathering and parting” is such a state in life

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.
