Cymn Wong
Sprouting for an Inch, in for a Mile

2023

About the Item

" Sprouting for an Inch, in for a Mile" is a powerful painting process that captures the essence of life and vitality. This painting captures the spirit of improvisation and adaptation, with dynamic form that projects for a willingness to take risks and explore new variables. The sprouts seem to reach out to and connect with each other, forming a bridge that spans the spatiality between them. The vibrant colors and sensitive brushwork in this canvas suggest a for sense of confidence and determination. The sprouts seem to be forging a path forward, with a clear sense of purpose and direction. The oblique structure and multi-faceted forms accumulate to create a sense of vivid motion and change. Its cursive brushes of Zen calligraphy convey something as if the painting process itself is to be alive and pulsing with an encyclical energy. The sprouts seem to be in a constant state of flux, evolving and adapting as they grow and mature. It implies that life is exactly a battlefield, wherever you, go with all your heart. The vein pattern that run through the painting process symbolizes the strength of life that sustains all living beings, while the smaller bean sprouts around represent the hope for new growth with trust. From 2022 to 2023, Cymn extended a soul karma in her Washington saloon that spearheads to create a masterful suited style of American ethos. The ethos showcases an accomplishment in self-realization of aesthetic views of both Eastern and Western cultures. Wong attempts to vitalize certain built-in imageries and present the visual world via a dynamic interaction for human passion with the environment and the universe. In retrospect about the reciprocity between poetry and art, Cymn’s artistic attainments are expanding into a vivid oasis that she has been stimulated in an international platform. Three turning points of creativity for Cymn Wong’s recent paintings: (1) SHIFT IN AESTHETICS: From traditional Chinese painting to contemporary New York Abstract Expressionism; (2) DRIFT IN POETICS: From poetic vision to Zen mindful calligraphy-landscape; (3) TWIST IN CONTEXT: From Hong Kong to American Experiences. Cymn renders abstract landscapes with a particular frame of mind in poetry that reveals the meaning of painting intoxicated by its mood and image. For example, by incorporating the shape of the bean sprout into visual language, her art creates an alternative way of revealing the wisdom of Zen philosophy and its insights. The unique aesthetic of her paintings is a fusion of the fluidity and freedom of abstract expressionism with the contemplative practice of Zen calligraphy. This integration of passionate energy and meditative stillness presents a landscape that is holistically dynamic and contemplative, evocative and reflective. The bean sprout is a crystalized symbol. Its unique shape evokes the numbers "0" and "1". The "0" of the bean sprout represents nothingness or emptiness, a void that is pregnant with potential. The "1", on the other hand, represents possibilities and growth. The dynamic interplay between these two facets for growth, meanwhile its renewal is inherent continuously in every moment. In short, Cymn Wong’s painting is imbued with subtle fuse of intrinsic imagery and poetic fluidity, allowing the inner-echoes to lead the brushstrokes on its own accord. With a heightened sense of life vigor that goes beyond a mere representation, Cymn is sensitized and mindful free to present a transformed landscape anew.
