CG x 6397 Alice Wong L/S T

Our latest round of Creative Growth graphic t-shirts celebrates the incredible talent of Creative Growth artists and the 50th anniversary of Creative Growth!

The Alice Wong L/S T features artwork by Creative Growth artist Alice Wong. Wong was born in Hong Kong in 1980, and came to Creative Growth in 2003 when she moved to California with her family. Wong concentrated on drawing and ceramics until 2013, when she began painting on vintage photographs using enamel and acrylic markers. Wong has since become known for her photographic transformations. Using blocks of color to enhance or obscure her subjects, an approach reminiscent of Baldessari’s work, Wong forces the viewer to search for contextual clues and meaning by both orienting the viewer and suggesting abstraction. Vividly saturated, Wong’s interpretations of vintage and historical photographs breathe new life into static compositions. With a preference for Victorian and mid-century subject matter, Wong transforms the concept of nostalgia into living documentation. 

All proceeds from sales of this t-shirt will go back to Creative Growth. This is our way of participating in and supporting the Creative Growth community. We hope these t-shirts will impart to you the same sort of magic that the experience of Creative Growth has given back to us over the years.
