Pui Tiffany Chow (b. Hong Kong) immigrated to the United States after the Handover from the British government and now lives and works in Los Angeles. Her paintings and drawings examine the female form and the capacity for the canvas to stage it, drawing on pointed art-historical references. Exploring the intersection of abstraction and figuration, she interrogates painting traditions in both subject and form, weaving Eastern and Western cultural codes into a pastiche of different tempos, feelings and approaches.
