 審査員評

These paintings have a very strong narrative feel to tell a unique story. Every image is filled with details that draw you in, making you want to explore the plot and the background. The use of color is spot on, not only enhancing the visual appeal but also adding to the overall atmosphere of the story. Each element in the paintings complements the others, creating a harmonious composition that captivates the viewer. These works showcase Chong's exceptional skills and their natural talent for storytelling.

The shape language evokes Cubism, and the rendering technique beautifully highlights the surface textures of the objects. The mood of the war environment is profoundly conveyed, allowing the audience to deeply sense its atmosphere.

The colors give the illustrations a somber, serious tone that is both striking and appropriate for the subject matter. The contrast between the vivid red and the dark depicts the cruilty of the war. "The Flower of War" is a powerful and evocative series.

The way Chong used his painting with futuristic features is incredible. It reminded me of certain diagonals used in Soviet art in its posters. This makes this aesthetic have a deep connection with the atmosphere of terror of war, in an exquisite style of volumes that play with Picasso-style shapes. His works have a very well-worked dynamic force, because of the diagonals of the compositions and the broken volumes of the painting. It is a beautiful aesthetic success, using it to express violence, desperation, tenderness and the closeness of death. The color palettes and cartoonish resources in guns, exalt Chong's great skill to express the emotions of each instance. A style worthy of traditional oil works, Chong has more than enough to expand to show his work in spaces reserved for fine arts.
