Summary
- Dominique Fung drops “Handheld Fan,” a new print edition, created with Avant Arte.
- Limited to an edition of 60, the print takes root in her 2021 work “Bone Holding Fan,” revisiting and reframing colonial-era aesthetics in dreamlike veils of color.
Last spring, Dominique Fung, a Canadian-Chinese artist, captivated many with her impressive solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Visitors were invited to explore her unique, dreamlike realm. Her oil paintings are a blend of ancestral and modern influences, striking a harmony on the boundary between them.
Currently, Fung is joining forces with Avant Arte to unveil a fresh print series. Entitled “Handheld Fan,” this new release serves as an extension of her ongoing investigation into colonial-era aesthetics using skillful portraiture and soft color gradients. In collaboration with the artisans at Make-Ready, she crafted a 13-layered piece that features tactile highlights and emphasizes cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship through its texture.
According to her 2021 artwork titled “Bone Holding Fan,” the image depicts four faces arising from a fan belonging to the Qing Dynasty, an item traditionally linked with China’s high-class court life and the exoticized Asian female beauty as perceived by the West. These intricately designed fans, frequently made of ivory or bone, were once used for both seduction and discretion. Artist Fung challenges these stereotypes in her work “Handheld Fan,” redefining the fan as a fragmented yet powerful platform for criticism and imagination, transcending racial and gender boundaries.
This unique piece titled “Handheld Fan” is a limited edition of only 60, featuring a 13-layered textured UV pigment print with silkscreen matte varnish seal on sturdy 410 gsm Somerset Tub Sized Radiant White paper. You can choose from three framing options when you order it. The artwork, without the frame, measures 53.1 cm x 60.0 cm and will be available for $1,363 USD starting July 22.
