Lily Wong

Ep.181 features Lily Wong, a figurative painter whose nuanced narratives invoke a sense of complex yearning and curiosity around the conditions that inscribe and complicate memory. Often engaged in acts of close looking and intimate contact, the subjects of her work move through dreamlike space and disoriented time. Wong’s paintings probe at the way that literal and metaphorical fracturings influence the body’s relationship to loss, intimacy, and desire. Their stories are never linear, but circular and eternal – a constant arrival and departure from the site of fracture. Her work has been exhibited at Lyles& King, New York (2023); Various Small Fires, Los Angeles (2022); Harper’s, New York, NY (2021); Kapp Kapp, Philadelphia, PA (2021) and New York, NY(2020); Ramp Gallery, London, UK (2020); The Wunderwall, Antwerp, BE (2020);HVW8 Gallery, Berlin DE (2018); and Underdonk, Brooklyn, NY (2018). Wong currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.  Portrait credit Ian Lewandowski  Artist https://www.lilylilywongwong.com/ Lyles and King https://lylesandking.com/artists/lily-wong Various Small Fires https://www.vsf.la/exhibitions/120-lily-wong-i-will-wade-out/overview/ Hauser & Wirth https://www.hauserwirth.com/viewing-room/lily-wong/ Kapp Kapp https://www.kappkapp.com/exhibitions/built-for-love Office Magazine https://officemagazine.net/lily-wong-navigates-self Juxtapose https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/magazine/features/lily-wong-the-lightseeker/ Artsy https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-lily-wongs-cinematic-paintings-filled-suspense-longing Fondazionei Magomundi https://fondazioneimagomundi.org/en/webdoc/lily-wong/ Meer https://www.meer.com/en/75176-lily-wong-own-vortex Art Rabbit https://www.artrabbit.com/events/lily-wong-own-vortex Artillery Magazine https://artillerymag.com/pick-of-the-week-lily-wong/ Visual Flood https://visualflood.com/post/figurative-portrait-paintings-by-lily-wong New America Paintings https://www.newamericanpaintings.com/artists/lily-wong
