Andrew Tong

So It Goes

Artist Andrew Tong in a wide ranging discussion with art dealer Ted Lederer as he discusses his exhibition, "So It Goes" at the Elliott Louis Gallery in Vancouver, B.C. Included are Andrew's upbringing in South London and how the violence and crime that were endemic to his family and area influenced his work. The title of the show refers to Kut Vonnegut's book, Slaughterhouse Five - the paintings, often seen through the eyes of children, reflect how man's greed can lead to all manner of apocalyptic action.
