Phyllis Wong

conceptual - artistic research - crossover - design - photography

Phyllis Wong is an artist and architect with an eloquent eye for tiny details and a flair for spatial quality. She focuses on food-related and sustainability-driven subjects. Steered by her flair to provoke and manifest daily facts into artistic pleasure, Phyllis aims to translate information and data into contemporary and witty creations. Her series of work always combines and connects food-related themes with an appropriate spatial characteristic or a matching location. Within every framework lies her strong and vibrant composition skills. They are always combined with an adequate sense of aesthetic balance and harmony. This form of art direction strives to glorify her ideas to achieve a unique 'Gesamtkunstwerk'; total work of art.
