Jeffrey Chong Wang’s deeply moving work has captured my attention since I saw his paintings at ART Toronto in 2016. The paintings were captivating and made people stop and stare; they begged the viewer to (re)consider what was being portrayed in each frame. Later, you would learn that all the figures in his works are self-reflections of himself and his family members as transnational subjects. This week, I sat down with the artist to ask him a few more questions about his life and his desires for his repertoire.
