ART BUSAN 2018

Artist Statement

Love is universal. Maybe the warmth from family could not be perfected physically, but it could be completed through love. No matter what one gender is, we all need love from somebody and we also need somebody to give our love to.

In my country, most people recently started to accept and embrace gays and lesbians more than they used to in the past ten years. Some family does not think that you should tell anyone that you are gay. One of my friend’s dad is gay. A lot of people thought that he might have some problems with his life. But instead, my friend had been taken good care of, with warmth and love. He understands his dad, and his family now is close and happier than ever before.

Peculiar of gender. 10 years ago, people were not happy with this kind of lifestyle. But now they are getting used to it a little more. Although we love someone who is of the same gender, the truth is that love has got nothing to do with gender preference. “Love is possible in everyone’s life.”

Artist Statement

Chong Ai Lei visualizes a person’s struggles with her inner thoughts and feelings, sometimes self-reassuring, while at times conflicting; depicted through two females intertwined with each other in a variety of poses and juxtapositions, with hints of the state of their relationship within the painting subtly articulated through details such as facial expressions, hand gestures and postures. This series of works are like a reflection of life, with the various compositions expressing the constant search for a state of balance, when one is faced with the dilemmas and challenges, whether it is fear, loss or desire.
