Hard working Wong Chen vs hardly working MPs
In a recent post on Facebook, Wong Chen, the MP for Wangsa Maju is giving some interesting details on how some MPs are working hard. He and Rafizi Ramli had press conferences on separate subjects. See what he says below: “This week, my office led the ART statement and Rafizi Ramli led on the Public Prosecutor statement. Both matters are extremely crucial matters, the first one is on economics…
Artist Statement
My canvas is empty yet scarred with scribbles and scabs of paint. I am an artist with no shame nor guilt: Upon talking about doubt, daunting days, depression
I speak. I speak through incomplete lines, intertwined. I speak with mess and mud.
My work is all experimental without much prior calculation. With an automated script and soul, I drip my words onto the coroded canvas. I like incompleteness, as long as it tells a story. My story. I am incomplete just as my works, forever in progress, never to be finished.
I am a concept art book, with many stories to depict.

From the mid 90ies on to the late 2000s i saw my role in art being rebellious ( aka doing your own style/ aesthetic/ message/ context) with in the scene, being the progressive, adding fresh a fresh vibe with new technical vibes. Painting organic 3d, painting soft, antennas, taboo forms, making the intimate lies & desires society have visible. Founding my style, oeuvre on popcultural things I expierenced, lived, played with when being a child/ in my teenage years, my forefather heritage, reflecting personal experiences. From circa 2010 i added further goals to my focus, like empowering with my work although non artists artviewers. Giving non painting themselfs people the same ego/ power/ grandiosity/ selfsucciency rush/ feeling like fellow other painting artists. I although played with a broader range of techniques beyond just mixing spraypaint with markers. Learning to accept that it takes much longer painting without spraypaint. Widening my horizon going in all kinds of directions:
still painting with the word ‚ SEAK ‚ in mind defining boundaries.
Painting readable painting series to self growth topics.
Painting oil abstract paintings with brush, fingers, mixedmedia/ mixed tool techniques with and without a aesthetic vision.
Abstract aswell as readable Portraits from my artclients.
Expierementing with all kinds of different painting strategies, studio routines keeping the process for me exciting.
Studying my own already known style.
Making it my difficult challenging myself painting with for me new techniques & new strategies.
painting paintings which makes better leaders.

Something I think about often is a critique we did in my Art 2 class in highschool.
I had spent SO much time and brain power on this piece and no one really expected much of my art as I hadn't been happy with my last few pieces.
When they got to mine someone said it was lacking, boring, and timid. That's when my teacher asked them to get closer to the piece.
From afar it appeared to be a sketchy, messy, and colorful silhouette bending over backwards to avoid some red lines/lasers. No background or shading. From up close you would then see that each red line was actually made of words. Insults, slurs, and petty words written in a typewriter-like font.
The person simply said "oh. Nevermind." After getting closer. I got no other feedback or critiques.
The rest of the piece was supposed to be timid and bland. The entire point of the piece was the dodging of hurtful words. The lasers are what was important. They were small so your eyes would be able to see them as solid lines from afar. The piece turned out exactly as I had hoped.
Yet people seemed underwhelmed. They didn't seem to understand why I didn't want the piece to stand out. My message was more important to me than making it eye catching.
It was a puzzle. It was a statement. It was art.
“Barbie”
My work is named “Barbie”, which has an irony meaning shows the juxtaposition of normal beauty standard and the freedom of female mind. I choose photoshop to build up my artwork. The most obvious element in my work is color. The background, mirror, heavy stone and the female body are all in grey and white that I used on purpose since I think it is a sad trend nowadays to show my sadness. The barbie doll is colored because I want to make it irony and most of the people always judge the female body which caused a social issue that most of the females want to do surgery to look all same like the barbie dolls. The white circle part around the female body means the natural body of a female which is colored. And the flowers are also colored because I think it’s an element of natural beauty that the female should be like that. The theme of my artwork is “breaking freedom of female body”. As an artist, I hope I can break all the judgment about the female body so that all the females feel pretty as they naturally get when they were born. Overall, I do like my artwork. Also, the final piece is the same as I planed when I did a sketch. This work will take me further in my future for my future artwork so that I can dig deeper meaning of “breaking freedom of female body” and make better artwork.
Switch
My work juxtaposition of female and male stereotyping. My work used pictures of different body sculptures, elements of traditional gender stereotypes items. The background I choose is also trying to show the difference in gender differences, that’s why I choose pink and blue so that the artwork has strong contrast. The wings are colored with pink and blue as well, to show my concept and express that all the individuals should feel free about their interests. I combined different images to build up the collage by using photoshop. I showed the elements of women and men to express that everyone can feel free about who they are and what they like. The main concept of my artwork is “breaking the stereotype of genders” because people in our society have rights to love what they really like from their deep heart, they should not always accept the judgement from others. This artwork definitely helps me to reach my goals and make the society become less judgemental since I hope people can realize the main ideas behind my artwork. Overall, this artwork is successful like what I expected at the beginning when I started the sketching. This work will take me further in my future for my future artwork so that I can dig deeper meaning of “breaking gender stereotype” and make better artwork.
