Anticuerpo No. 7: Al otro lado del túnel
Exhibition
-> Sep 1 2023 – Sep 30 2023
Anticuerpo is a series inspired by the anatomical study of the ox and its spirit. Wong´s artwork refers to the role of bovine cattle in the development of civilizations through history and geographic location.
The series Anticuerpo is a result of pandemic lockdown. It was created during a historic moment in which art stores could not operate, therefore it was necessary to create pigments from other sources. In this case, the artist used ingredients of chinese and panamanian gastronomy.
This series was also presented at the time of the celebration that commemorates the chinese new year of the ox. The ox is the only icon present in systems of time measurement (zodiacs) within chinese and occidental cultures. "Al Otro Lado del Túnel" is a social calling to rise from the ashes in order to work on world´s reconstruction.
