Over the years since graduating, Ching felt increasingly attracted to the freedom with which Fine Art/Painting offered and as such produced paintings, exhibiting her work in various galleries whilst also collaborating with art consultants, displaying her work in several corporate and residential settings across the United Kingdom and overseas.
Ching endeavours to create a fusion between observation and intuitive exploration in both her paintings and drawings through colour, composition, mark-making, etc to form her own personal visual language. Inspired by nature, real and imaginary subjects and spaces, the human form and much more, she hopes to forge an open dialogue and a shared experience between viewer and artist, experimenting with a range of mediums & surfaces to continually evolve her practice and to develop her work as she seeks unusual colour palettes and the exploration of visual imagery.
“My paintings are an attempt to convey my own personal experience of the world around me. The work is essentially about ‘seeing’ in the broadest sense of the word. In many ways, it is my own way of celebrating and communicating what I consider to be one aspect of life's incredible transitory & sensory experiences.
Many elements come to mind in my painting process and here are but to name just a few...
Colour certainly holds a personal and endless fascination; whether this is fresh, vibrant colour, muted, calming, natural or synthetic. Whether consciously or not, in each painting, my aim would be to strike a balance between the intuitive, the emotional with the logical and the rational. Finding this equilibrium, which I have discovered to be so elusive is possibly the hidden driving force behind further, subsequent paintings.
Within the paintings, I am exploring, amongst several elements, the composition, the visual language, the energy, mark making, opaque or translucent layers as well as surface quality. Simplicity against complexity, divisions of space, lines, edges & overlaps - all these and much more are my overriding interests within painting and image making. It seems that I am often attempting to create some kind of order out of the apparent chaos as I contemplate & grapple with the uncertainties, the decisions and the endless possibilities within my practice.
“My ideas and interests for paintings & drawings are taken from numerous sources. This may be the human figure, real or imaginary subjects & spaces, the natural world and much more; all of which I find to be equally fascinating and just as challenging. As with all painters, I would like to see my work evolve and progress over time through the development of my own personal visual language to a degree whereby I am able to eloquently articulate and express my thoughts and feelings about a particular idea or subject through painting and/or drawing.”
