Shaina McCoy - 20th Century & Contemporary Art & Design Day Sale Hong Kong Tuesday, June 21, 2022 | Phillips
  • “All paintings are created after my personal family photos. Some may have been taken well before my arrival into the world, so I am often curious. I am never fully aware of the happenings or who the people are in my family photos. This unknowingness all sparks conversation. I am simply playing a game of telephone. I archive, and collect moments from my history and share them with the world… I would also say that colours tell stories, too. Sometimes, I select certain photos based off of the colour conversation happening. Colours have a tendency to teleport, and unearth nostalgia. Once the perfect hue is created, I am able to paint up that moment.”
    — Shaina McCoy
