Liu-Wong’s work blends everyday occurrences from her life with abstracted nightmares and crude humor. Trained as an illustrator, she tries to tell a story with every piece she makes, developing a personal and slightly sinister narrative within each painting.

Using vibrant colors, heavy patterning, and tight compositions, the work draws inspiration from a variety of sources including but not limited to American folk art, the cartoons she watched as a kid, Shunga (Japanese term for erotic art), and her appreciation for architecture. She is always striving to make work that is highly personal but altered enough to allow individual interpretations to be applied to every story she paints.

The Burden by Kristen Liu-Wong on The Table Read
The Burden

Regarding her upcoming show, Liu-Wong shares, “Hard Pressed is an exploration of the internal and external pressures that we have to contend with every day. Worry and strife are a part of the human condition and unfortunately over the past couple of years, it has become an ever-expanding constant in almost everyone’s life as disease, social discord, war, and environmental issues threaten to overwhelm us all. Pressures can also be interpreted as human impulses, forces in our very own nature, that inherently influence and sway us.”

Adding, “As I began to prepare my work for the show, I often found myself becoming consumed by my attempts to balance my everyday responsibilities with my work obligations, my personal obligations, and my societal obligations; this idea of a barely stable balancing act, and being consumed or overwhelmed by the minutiae of life, seeped its way into my work.

“In these paintings, harried women contort themselves into impossible poses as they multitask, a figure grapples with her inner demon, a woman burns as people cavort around her, precariously balanced objects threaten to topple over, and there is a constant underlying tension as the figures in the pieces strain and strive in their existence.

“These women grapple with the pressure to feel good, to look good, to act good, to fuck good, to be good, and to define what ‘good’ is for themselves. Water, serving as a recurring motif, seeps, flows, and spills over throughout many of the works, while problems that range from the mundane to the existential to the extraordinary play out as the viewers watch on.”

Hard Pressed Art Show

Hard Pressed will feature paintings on cradled wood panel done in acrylic and acrylic gouache, framed paintings on paper (also done in acrylic and acrylic gouache), painted wood cut out sculptures, and a large 15 ft. x 10 ft. un-stretched canvas painting.
