Wong Wing Tong   王棠
(born in Hong Kong)

A gradute of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (co- presented with Hong Kong Art School), Wong Wing Tong is a young Hong Kong artist working with oil and mural paintings.

For him, working on a painting often are a long process done indoors for months without much interactions with other people, which could felt lonely sometimes. Mural painting allows him opportunities to interact and communicate with the viewers, stimulating his creation within the process. He also enjoys doing art installation and curating, he believes that the using of space is also part of his creation process.

He has been active in many art promotion campaigns, with experience in art education workshops. He was also an artist assistant in Venice Biennial 2011. “Soul Cleansing” marks his debut at Sin Sin Fine Art, in which he is showing a series of inter- connected works done with oil on canvas.

In his own words:

Between Dream and Reality

Squeezing oneself between Skyscrapers; dealing with work, life and consumption, this is how I describe life in Hong Kong. We are repeating ourselves everyday without new stimulations.

Only blank canvas allows me to start everything from zero, as a kind of meditation, searching for something spiritual. Brushes on canvas help me to think out of the box, leading me to find a way for my life.

Brushes moving, eyes tracing, everything between dream and reality. This is Soul Cleansing.
