Small Flies and Other Wings

2013

Christine Ay Tjoe's *Small Flies and Other Wings* is a dynamic oil on canvas that pulses with frenzied, gestural energy, featuring tangled webs of mark-making that seem to vibrate between figuration and abstraction. The Indonesian artist layers expressive brushwork and scratched lines to evoke fragile, insect-like forms caught in a state of restless motion. The work reflects Ay Tjoe's signature exploration of tension between the corporeal and the ephemeral, inviting viewers to sense both vulnerability and urgency within the chaotic surface.
