Bio: Roselina Hung is a visual artist with a Masters in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London, UK, and her Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of British Columbia. She also studied at L'Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally and can be found in private collections around the world. Born in 1980, Vancouver, Canada; she currently lives and works in Vancouver.

Artist Statement: My practice is oil painting, specifically portraiture, and I explore the artifice in representations of singular and collective memories in regards to their portrayal in popular culture. I use familiar imagery to engage viewers with their personal experiences, evoking a common memory; questioning their understanding of their own and others shared concepts of nostalgia. I am interested in examining society's visualization and understanding of memories and histories through images, including ideas of nostalgia, and the creation of a hyper-reality, wherein accepting the simulation as authentic; the belief in the fake supersedes the notion of the real in importance. Constructed images of vaguely familiar,
hypothetical pasts are created and the works pass as re-presentations of people and events, questioning the validity of memory, history and the freedoms taken in their recreation.
