Christine Ay Tjoe (b. 1973) Singgah II 2003 mixed media on canvas 43” x 35” (110 cm x 90 cm) PROPERTY FROM A VERY DISTINGUISHED COLLECTOR Visual artist Christine Ay Tjoe was the first Southeast Asian artist signed by White Cube Gallery and Big Gallery. She is often considered one of Indonesia’s foremost artists working today. Tjoe received her formal training in the arts under a Printmaking and Graphic Art program at the Bandung Institute of Technology. She began her career by experimenting with dry-point and intaglio prints as a way to familiarize herself with line, brush and needle sharpness. Her delicate and structured linework would then eventually come to define her oeuvres. Tjoe has described her works as nuanced explorations of both philosophy and spirituality. Her visually engaging works attempt to unearth the realities of the human condition through a heightened sense of subjectivity and self reflection.She has since broadened her artistic practice to include painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation work. Tjoe has mounted numerous groundbreaking solo shows such as her The Path Less Found exhibit in Taiwan, Panorama Without Distance in Hong Kong, and her Wall Prison Part II show in Miami.
