Description
The works in the exhibition are testimony to WONG’s deep and continuing fascination with landscape. Inspired by both Western and Eastern traditions and frequently spanning two or more canvases, his paintings draw the viewer into a world of lush green hills, winding mountain paths and ever-changing skies.
WONG’s scenic panoramas have evolved naturally from the dreamlike, highly imaginary landscapes shown in “Daydream Travelogues”, his previous solo exhibition at Gallery EXIT. However, compared to those earlier works, his new paintings are closer to their sources of inspiration. The nine-panel “The Dragon’s Back” as well as the double-panel works “Shing Mun Reservoir” and “The Sunset Peak” are based on and named after some of Hong Kong’s most spectacular sceneries.
