Gerard Richter is a Contemporary Artist that Lynn Lee Wong admires. While Richter proves that paintings made from chaos or randomness are re-interpreted by the beholder to mean something, a landscape, a figure, etc. Richtor exalts the subjective experience and the unreliability of absolute truth. This is the quintessential beliefs of De-constructivism and Postmodernism. The artist uses the opposite approach. She is also liberal in utilizing math, science, and non-traditional art tools in producing art. By utilizing order, she produces paintings that also display chaos or randomness. The artist's message is in the beauty of how order cannot be separated from disorder.
Lynn Lee Wong is inspired by the innovative American Art from the 1960s in New York: Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, and Conceptual Art. Abstract Expression is an “embrace of chaos that was balanced by an impulse toward control” (Theartstory.com). “Conceptual art is based on the notion that the essence of art is an idea, or concept, and may exist distinct from and in the absence of an object as its representation. “ (Guggenheim.com) Both of these ideas have a separation. For AbEx it is between chaos and control whereas for Conceptual Art the separation is between the idea and the art object, the execution of the idea). Pop Art relates to commentary about popular culture. The artist was particularly influenced by Andy Warhol because of his use of silk screen prints to repeat and simplify popular imagery in a pattern. Andy Warhol uses these visual tools to get past the initial read of the imagery into a deeper meaning within society and culture. Patterns have a way to communicate beyond just the image that is repeated. Andy commented on the culture.
