Dominique Fung
Dominique Fung’s paintings have an entrancing, almost anesthetizing effect to them, with their lush fields of colour, glossy finish and pleasing classical compositions that give the viewer quite an eyeful.
Her paintings have a magical feel, which often evoke a world of genteel pleasure: the creamy porcelain painted female figures, mythical creatures, animals, fruits and Asian antiques/objects all coexisting in a strange and surreal space. Through her work, she continuously examines specific and relevant themes of cultural fabrication, identity, cultural diaspora, sexuality and femininity. Born in Ottawa, Fung is now based in Brooklyn, where she is currently producing a body of work for an upcoming solo exhibition at the 14th Factory Art Exhibition in London, England this summer.
