99 Future Blue-Chip Artists.

TONG WU

“My figurative works draw upon my years growing up in

Chinese collective life and the experience in post-modern

society to explore the way we live and feel in an irresponsible

postmodern society. I integrate visual elements

from a variety of sources in my oil paintings, including

images from screens, newspapers and social media. The

use of traditional oil painting to represent images in the

electronic age is an interesting dialogue, while the act of

painting dissolves the artificiality of electronic images.

Using strategies of theatricality storytelling and lush color,

I create gorgeous and bizarre stage shows, which revisit

and indicate the artificiality and performativity of postmodern

society”.
