Flo Wong's work to me
is a kind of gateway to understanding Chinese Americans and
American Chinese artists in this new land. It is multi-dimensional,
addressing historical, political and cultural issues. Her
piece, Kindred Spirit #4, in our recent show REDO CHINA at
Ethan Cohen Fine Arts brought a deeper construction to the
story of the Chinese away from the homeland. In fact, in many
ways her life is the story of the Chinese in America, and
her work a forceful representative for American Chinese art
today.
