Stephen WONG Chun Hei 黃進曦


BIOGRAPHY
 1986
Born in Hong Kong
 
2008
BA in Fine Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Currently based in Hong Kong, Stephen WONG Chun Hei is a visual artist whose main medium has been painting. His artistic journey began in 2008, since he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Natural landscapes are the key motif throughout Wong’s paintings. His use of vivid palettes of saturated colours translate his intuitive imagination and visual impressions from his hiking trips into dream-like paintings. His works emit a mysterious sense of being familiar yet uncannily surrealistic, prompting viewers to reflect on the dynamics in human-nature relationships.
 
Wong’s solo exhibitions organized by Gallery EXIT in Hong Kong include A Grand Tour in Google Earth (2021), Visual Travelogues (Hong Kong Spotlight by Art Basel, 2020), Looking at the sky and the landscape beneath (2018) and Daydream Travelogues (2016); other recent solo shows include MacLehose Trail (Bonhams, Hong Kong, 2022) and Indoor Hundred Islands (Touch Gallery, Hong Kong, 2021). His group exhibition participations include The Breath of Landscape (Hong Kong Museum of Art, 2019) and These Painters’ Painters (ROH Projects, Jakarta, 2018). Wong’s artwork is part of the Hong Kong Museum of Art Collection.
