Trinidadian artist Joshua Lue Chee Kong, who we featured here previously, is currently exhibiting at Medulla Art Gallery, Trinidad. The show entitled Moulded Memories sees Lue Chee Kong using Sculpty clay to explore his fascination with dreams and curiosity about why some dreams are remembered and some forgotten. With a background based in graphic design, Lue Chee Kong's switch to sculpture began with an invitation to a Raku class taught by ceramic artist Bunty O Conner who for many years ran a pottery factory called Ajoupa. The Sculpty clay he uses gives a softness to his creations and references a childhood playing with Plasticine.
Lue Chee Kong has a keen interest in history and culture and is presently exploring Trinidad and Tobago’s folklore. Mythological forms and archetypes are also represented, as Lue Chee Kong is interested in rituals, customs and objects that are used in ceremonies. He draws heavily from folklore and the diverse culture of his native country as well as the cultures and histories of the ancient Egyptians, West Africans and Mayans.
