“My abstraction is a cultural practice, and it is not flattening. It is not just embedded in Western Modernism. I particularly find monks chanting incredibly abstract and transcending.”

Showcasing over 50 pieces by Vongpoothorn, this collection spans nearly 25 years and includes everything from expansive triptychs on canvas to delicate works on paper. Her art is a profound exploration, striking a balance between multiple influences while inviting contemplation.
Deeply rooted in her South-East Asian heritage, Vongpoothorn's work deftly weaves together the threads of contemporary Australia with echoes of history. This unique dialogue creates a practice that is not only hybrid but richly layered, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of identity and culture. Each piece offers a fresh perspective, merging the past with the present in a visually and intellectually stimulating tapestry.
