Prodigal Daughters

Tis The Final Conflict #2 - Hung Liu

10 Chancery Lane Gallery is presenting the works of Chinese-American artist Hung Liu in an exhibition entitled, Prodigal Daughters. Taking her inspiration from the 1949 film, Daughters of China, Liu reinterprets scenes from the black and white film in vivid color. With intense thickly applied brush strokes, Liu paints ruddy earthen portraits with splashes of bright colors, these eight heroic women who chose to die rather than being captured by the Japanese. In this series, Liu addresses and revisits the intensity and innocence of communist ideology and her development as a person and artist as a result of it. The series of large works will be shown in Hong Kong for the first time [source].

Every week I share some of the highlights of cultural events from the parts of Asia I know best. As most of my readership is based in the US, I do this partly out of my own interest, and partly as it's interesting to catch a glimpse of what is happening in a city different from your own. This is one of the benefits of leading a mobile lifestyle, being a digital nomad, traveller or whatever label you choose -- you get to experience great events from many different cultural perspectives. Hoards of people are blogging about the art scene in New York but who, in English, covers or even mentions the events in Bangkok?
