サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「"The Flying Balloon" by Indonesian artist, Christine Ay Tjoe, earned the artist the prestigious “Best Emerging Artist Using Painting” award at the Prudential Eye Awards in 2015. Whimsically enchanting and rife with metaphor "The Flying Balloon" is a buoyantly alluring example of Christine Ay Tjoe’s remarkable abstract lexicon. Trained in graphic design and printmaking, Ay Tjoe’s works are tremendously personal and powerfully universal.⠀ ⠀ Elements of play suggest the artist’s reflection upon her early years of motherhood as she received her greatest gift, her son. The only work with a “happy face” and explicit facial expression, Ay Tjoe’s humor shines through as she gains a fresh perspective on the permeation of technology in human life. The smiley faces in the work were drawn from the iPad games she played with her son.⠀ ⠀ Modern & Contemporary Southeast Asian Art Evening Sale⠀ 8 July, Hong Kong⠀ ⠀ #sothebyshongkong #christineaytjoe」7月7日 6時52分
