A new art installation in now on display in Public Square.
"Triumph (of Heaven, Earth, and the Cosmos)" is an illustrative odyssey composed of Chinese cultural motifs, energetic elements derived from automatic drawing, and quirky personal musings of the artist.
The Chinese character for "you" is boldly presented at the center with the intention to celebrate the viewer and provide a reminder of the brilliance of one's existence.
Themes of the "hero's journey" and "light conquering darkness" collide with heavenly beings, sacred creatures, giant robots, and imaginative moments of whimsy.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jordan Wong (WONGFACE) loves to delight, inspire, and share his quirky sense of humor through illustration and graphic design.
Since moving to Cleveland in 2015, Jordan has started his own business, shown artwork throughout the city, became AIGA Cleveland’s Community Outreach Director, and assumed the role of design partner at the art organization SPACES.
From minimal, abstract sentiments to more illustrative designs, he draws inspiration from his experiences as an Asian American and his nostalgic love for cartoons, comics, and video games.
