Statement
Flux- (n) 1. the action or process of flowing out, 2. continuous change, (v) 3. to make or become fluid
Everything around us is constantly moving and changing. My fascination in this natural state expressed itself in my work long before I consciously acknowledged it. I paint intuitively, and improvisation is key. The works are primarily composed of unplanned amorphous forms that stay open to reinterpretation throughout much of the process. Flux is an exploration of these forms. It was inspired by movement, and driven by weird thoughts, restless energy, and the need for free play.
Wingchow (Christina Wing Chow) is a Richmond-based artist whose works inhabit a strange world of floating blobs, swirling colors, and shape shifting creatures. Influenced by nature, energy, magic, and dreams (among infinite other things), her work ranges from playful illustrations to abstract paintings, and most recently, to large scale murals. Expanding into the world of public art in 2017, Wingchow has since painted works in RVA, Helsinki, and the DC edition of international mural festival POW! WOW! Her work was also exhibited this past year in the annual New Waves show at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art.
