Chelsea Ryoko Wong’s vibrant figurative compositions reflect the diversity and style of her home in San Francisco. Her brightly colored and heavily stylized paintings beam with the beauty and vitality of interpersonal connections. Her scenic vignettes demonstrate sociality and joy as forms of resistance and empowerment; they portray energetic crowds, often praising sisterhood and community spirit. Moving through the artist’s own memory, heritage, and a grand social and political vision for the world, Wong’s layered compositions use a commanding sense of color and form to celebrate the most tranquil ideals of communal existence.
