Take a personal journey with two artists as they explore the essence of Chinese culture.
Adelaide artists, Siew Siang Tay and Con Polychronis, explore the richness and nuances of the diverse people who shape Chinese culture, past and present. Ordinary folk come alive, but beyond the arresting eyes and the fascination of past artisans are stories of perseverance, survival, hope and joy.
This combination of universality and distinctness is what the artists try to capture, as they invite you to see and sense the vignettes that speak to the essence of the human experience.
Siew Siang Tay is a Malaysian-Chinese migrant who moved to Australia in 1993, and Con Polychronis is the son of Greek migrants who came to Australia in 1954. Both bring to their work a strong sense of cultural heritage and the human condition.
