WINGCHOW

Like Alice down the rabbit hole, it’s easy to get sucked into the fantastical world that Richmond-based painter Wingchow creates in her abstract paintings and illustrations. Her superb use of color and value create a hypnotic sense of dimension, drawing the eye to lines and shapes around the canvas.

Consisting of amorphous organic forms rendered with a diverse color palette, Wingchow draws visual inspiration for her paintings from human anatomy, forms found in nature, sweets, and cartooning. Thematically, her work draws from the idea of “play," she says, and communicates transformation and movement. She describes her work as “whimsical and visceral” and says she attempts to “keep things fun” in her pieces.
