Inspired by abstract expressionism and fuelled by spirituality and mysticism from eastern and western philosophies, Tiffany Wong’s artistic practice is a culmination of her Asian-Canadian identity and her relationship with the unseen world. 

Consisting of mostly pastel colours with pops of saturated colour, her gestural abstractions  laud an understated beauty influenced by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Through her quiet and sometimes frantic mark-making and contrasting colour choices, she expresses dualities; joy and melancholy, solitude and connectedness and youth and decay. Tiffany’s work retains a sense of secrecy; she edits judiciously and her marks get layered with transparent coats of paint, covered with gold leaf or embroidered shapes. She chooses intuitively what to obscure and what to accentuate; the process is meditative and forgiving. Her pieces impart the same kindness while giving the viewer a sense of closure that doesn’t always exist in life.

Her current work combines textile art and painting while reducing her environmental footprint, returning to a pared-back aesthetic. She uses inks and stains that she makes from organic matter and paints mixed with eco-friendly earth pigments. Her use of thread references her cultural background and gender identity.  As she is heavily influenced by the tradition of Chinese embroidery, she also looks to reclaim embroidery as a feminine domestic art by bringing it into the domain of fine art. Tiffany’s art practice is constantly evolving as she continues to research more natural, traditional ways that she can make art against our rapidly declining planet.
