Empowered Women - Phung Banh

The representation of women is often either white-washed or objectified. While growing up in Vietnam, the societal norm that Asian women are expected to have pale skin in order to be seen as beautiful became apparent to me. Although this norm is not followed by all Asian women, their representation in the media, especially in East Asia, continues to reinforce this norm. To address the lack of diversity and racial discrepancies in women's representation, my work seeks to celebrate collective empowerment and highlight the beauty of different skin tones.

Phung Banh (凌秋风) is a Chinese-Vietnamese art director, illustrator and designer who has a love for visual storytelling. She is passionate about creating social and environmental impact through her work, which regularly addresses feminism, climate change, and racial discrimination. Raised to embrace the duality of her identity and celebrate other cultures throughout her travels and learning, she is passionate about portraying the complexities of cultures through meticulous research and an open mind. Her research transcends into colourful works of art that are not only rich in pigment but also in context.

All of our frames are created with high-quality wood, milled with simple clean lines and presented with a satin finish. Every purchase also includes an off-white mount that will not discolour or fade with age. For the matted or mounted prints we use a thick 1.4mm window mount cut from premium textured moutboard. All mounts are conservation grade, FSC certified, 100% acid free, and will not discolour or fade with age.
The artwork is printed on premium fine art paper. The paper is museum quality, and reproduces photography and artworks with exceptional tonality and renders sharp details with consistent flatness and accuracy.

What is a Giclée Print?
The word “Giclée” is French for “sprayed ink.” Today, the term is used to describe a sophisticated inkjet printmaking process which creates the highest quality fine art reproductions. All of our inhouse prints are manufactured in this way. Giclée printing offers extra-fine image resolution, helping to retain a higher degree of detail from the original fine art or photographic images.

Posters, Mini, Small and Medium prints are generally dispatched within 10 days of purchase.
