WHO
Stephen Wong Chun Hei

WHAT
The Hong Kong artist (b.1986) is well-known for his natural landscapes painted with vivid palettes. The exhibition opens with a set of 11-panel panoramic oil paintings inspired by space documentaries, reflecting the artist’s personal response towards the grandeur and infinity of the universe. His works vividly depict sceneries that incorporate idealised imagery from his personal imagination, at once strange and familiar.

WHY
The new works shown in this exhibition explore the artist’s particular way of seeing, questioning the essence of reality through the combination of real and virtual landscapes. They prompt viewers to contemplate the relationship between man and nature, and between the real and the surreal. From a more abstract and removed perspective, the exhibition speaks to the Hong Kong landscape during the post-pandemic diasporic experience.
