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.
“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:
Squeezing oneself between Skyscrapers; dealing with work, life and consumption, this is how I describe lives in Hong Kong. We are cycling 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.
Here is a memoir of my mind thought consciousness journey during creation:
The real essence of tranquility comes from the happiness of one self.
“Where peaceful water flows, fill my heart with pleasure and joy. Poundering my crystal thoughts onto the canvas, like spring water flowing down the stream between clouds and pebbles.Water dances upon the rocks in shadows of fog, and create scenario of serenity, where time and space are frozen at the horizon. Calling birds from far away to bring along the messages of light for my divine soul.”
The pleasure of creations come from the fountain of tranquility.
