Wong Sze Wai

BIOGRAPHY

Wong Sze Wai was born and based in Hong Kong. She graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Master of Fine Arts in 2020, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2013.

Wong Sze Wai’s artworks focus on the relationship between memory and imagination. Various daily objects, such as blue and white tarpaulin, discarded fences, bricks and plastic chairs, are seen scattered around in the painting representing the past human activities and the passing of time. Inspired by ancient mural art and Western painting masters, Wong uses mineral pigments, clay and other materials, adding onto the canvases layer by layer. The textures spawned from the dried clay magnify the paintings’ relationships to space and time, and lead the viewers to a further dimension.
