"wen gum gum's painting, when viewed from a distance, appears to be very clean, but upon closer inspection, one would discover its rather dirty aspect, evoking a metropolitan beauty reminiscent of France, yet at the same time, it carries a distinctly gritty and grimy texture."

                                                         - a visitor comment in August 2023

「wen gum gum的畫,從遠處看,顯得很乾淨,但仔細一看,卻發現它相當臟的一面,讓人想起法國的都市美感,但同時又帶著明顯的砂礫和污垢的質感。」

I hope you understand that my works are still evolving.

In recent paintings, I have tried to portray the intimacy between bodiless women, showing their unusual "affection." 

In contrast to the often interpreted "sisterly" relationships among women in classical(?) paintings, I hope the authenticity and intimacy of the bodiless women as individuals can be seen.
