Twist with Kolo Mee

This is another artwork exhibited at Lov Gallery for the Lov Kuching exhibition. 

Again, food is my main inspiration for this painting! 

Definition of Kolo Mee (Hokkien to English)
Kolo means Dry
Mee means Noodle

Twist with Kolo Mee by Angelina Bong

Twist with Kolo Mee is an acrylic painting portraying the playful and laidback persona of Kuching indulging in its addictive Kolo Mee, the love of many Kuching people. Just like the other artwork, the background’s symbolic shades are derived from colours often used to depict Kuching and Sarawak, mainly from the hornbill and the Sarawak flag.

Festivals galore enchant the world in meek Kuching,

Travellers from afar fall in love or have a fling,

Still the heart of chaos and worries for both you and me,

Break free from the norm, laugh and dare twist like kolo mee

 BTW IT IS ALSO FOR SALE...

Dance with Laksa

This is one of the paintings that I have recently put up for an exhibition at Lov Gallery. The theme of the exhibition was Lov Kuching. What's more inspiring than food in Kuching? So, this one's dedicated for food lovers.

Dance with Laksa by Angelina Bong

This acrylic piece is inspired by one of Kuching’s most popular delicacies, the famous Sarawak Laksa and the love of festivals. Every year, festivals like the ‘Kuching Food Fest’ and the ‘Rainforest World Music Festival’ are celebrated in glory. Dance with Laksa incorporates the love of festivals expressed through a dancing girl into the enjoyment of this exotic dish.

Music and food unites the hearts of Kuching lovers,

No matter if you like breakfasts, lunches or dinners,

Whether you’re a fan of ballet, ngajat or salsa,

Be prepared to feast, dine and have a dance with laksa

BTW IT IS ALSO FOR SALE...

If you would like a unique gift to give as Christmas, do consider this. Leave a comment if you wish to purchase. International delivery available. :) cheers.

I'll be showcasing my paintings in an upcoming exhibition which starts from 9 November till 1 December 2013. It will be officially launched tomorrow and open to public on Saturday.

Along with other local artists, we will be displaying artworks about our beloved city, Kuching. Hence, the title of the exhibition is Lov Kuching. It also happens to be Lov Gallery's first exhibition.

If you happen to be in Kuching, please feel free to drop by and give us some cheer! I will post up my paintings here as soon as the exhibition is over ;)

Whimsical Tales of Blurarefly

Whimsical Tales of Blurarefly by Angelina Bong

Here's a painting I have done for a friend. Since she has no particular request, I wanted something to brighten up her days in her house. Inspired again by a butterfly, blurarefly is a rare creature living in a mystical world where everything is happy, cheerful and bright like the colours in the painting.

I hope she will feel happier when she is sad or down when she sees this painting.

Angelina Bong's Work in Progress

Angelina Bong's Room of Passion

Hello to all who pass by..

I start this blog to be an archive of some sort. You can call it a room, an album, a gallery, a host or whatever terms you can find. This blog serves as a room to store some of my creative works. 

Over the years, I have done numerous sketches, drawings, paintings, crafts from jewellery to handmade bags and even garments. I will post some of it here slowly for those who are interested to witness some of my creations. 

Arts has been part of me since I am young. Ever since I was as young as 5 or 6, I would love to lie down on my stomach drawing girls with manga-style eyes (huge eyes with no lids) and giving them various clothes to wear depending on the role they are supposed to be in. You can say I am a dreamer with lots of imaginations and fantasies penned up in my head with characters ready to be made alive through stories and paintings!

I have given away some works to lovers, friends, families and strangers of which I have absolutely no record of so hopefully from now on, this blog-room can keep an image of upcoming works for me.

Today marks the day I start this room filled with passion of mine.

Do bookmark this page for regular updates. I hope you will be inspired, enlightened or at least feel a notch lighter from the wearies of life when you stop and look at my artworks.

Angelina Bong is here to brighten your day :)

God bless.

p/s: Feel free to drop a comment and if you feel inspired to 'hire' me to do a painting or a craft for you, I am here to serve. Just buzz me.

I would like to greet you welcome by leaving you an experimental 'painting' of mine which was done in my first semester of foundation in Arts.
