Timeline 1990 – 1999 – Lucille Wong

TIMELINE

… there is the paleolithic protomother, the prehistoric Venus, the mythical primordial couple and the egregious women of the dawn of the historical eras; there is the woman girl and the girl woman; the shaded adolescent, the nymph who dances and the naiad who hides, the exquisite young woman, the matron, the lady, the oldster; there is the woman serf and booty, humiliating portrait of the degradation of the male, the woman victim of the intrafamiliar depredation, he woman who sleeps alone caressed by the wind and the ghosts of sleep under a luminous sky; there is the winning woman and the repudiated woman, the pretentious one, the unenthusiastic, the indifferent one …

… in some works of Lucille Wong, by abandoning its immediate reference seem to establish metaphysical landscapes, already within the currents of the lyric abstractionism.

MURAL IN THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Galope en silencio, 1991

It is obvious but also obligatory to make reference to the essence of oriental art in the painting of Wong. In the formal aspect we can speak of a great calligraphic wealth, shallow backgrounds, daring perspectives, great movement and force in the line, everything is reduced to its essential features. Moreover, the eastern nature is referred to its Western counterpart, of which the artist is very conscious and works with it to achieve a fruitful pictorial synthesis. The pantheistic relation of certain oriental doctrines with nature, relationship of harmony and veneration, is present in this mural painting and enhances, finally, the role of the university campus where it is located.

One of the greatest virtues in her painting is its ability of projection, her force of expression that comes straight to the Spirit, to the heart of the one who contemplates all these evidence of her immense interior life, of an immeasurable force to communicate this world of force and of beauty, the world of Lucille Wong.
