Stephen Wong Chun Hei, an illustrious painter from Hong Kong, masterfully merges imagination with the dynamism of nature in his vibrant landscape paintings. His artwork, characterized by exaggerated hues and saturated colors, unveils a realm that transcends the ordinary constraints of time. Deliberately drifting away from naturalistic representation, Wong’s landscapes evoke emotion and movement, capturing the essence of the ever-changing atmosphere. His canvases become a showcase of his creative journey, where each brushstroke unfolds as a rhythmic dance between reality and a vibrant dreamscape, inviting the audience to voyage alongside him through his immersive art.
In his artistic endeavors, Wong embraces subjectivity over realism, passionately painting with colors that pulse with life. Through his unique approach, he offers more than a spectacle; he creates experiences that resonate with the imagination. Each piece grows into a narrative that reflects a journey both physical and spiritual, embodying the endless possibilities of adventure through art. This kaleidoscope of emotions and vistas serves as a gateway, allowing onlookers to explore beyond the confines of conventional landscapes. Wong’s work not only celebrates the beauty of the world but also encourages a profound connection between viewer and canvas, evoking a personal exploration of the landscapes within.
I never try to capture just one moment in a landscape. The colours are ever-changing through time. This is the reason that the colours in my paintings are not realistic or naturalistic in appearance. I would like them to be more subjective. When I work on canvas, I also got the feeling of travel with every brushstroke and colour used.
