Artist and Assistant Professor of Art at Pomona College (Claremont CA), based in Los Angeles.
Pui Tiffany Chow (b. Hong Kong) immigrated to the US after the Handover of Hong Kong from the British government and now lives and works in Los Angeles. Through pointed art historical references, Pui’s paintings and drawings examine the female form and the capacity for the canvas to stage them. Her work explores the intersection between abstraction and figuration, interrogates painting traditions in both subject and form, referencing Eastern and Western cultural codes and modes that coalesce into a pastiche of different tempos, feelings and approaches.
Her recent solo and two-person exhibitions include Susanna (solo) at Phase Gallery, Los Angeles (2024), Hurly-Burly (solo) at Parker Gallery, Los Angeles (2022), 2 Bad Mouse, After Hours Gallery, Los Angeles (2022), Bend, Phase Gallery, Los Angeles (2022).
