Vivid palettes of blues, greens and pinks saturate Stephen Wong Chun Hei’s landscapes, which translate reminiscences of journey into dreamy acrylic work. The artist considers every work a vessel for the impressions of the locations the place he has traveled or traveled. “I by no means attempt to seize only one second in a panorama. Colours at all times change over time,” Hey tells Colossal. “For this reason the colours in my work aren’t reasonable or naturalistic in look. I want they had been extra subjective.”
Most of the work originate from a sketchbook, which the artist brings on his adventures and again to his studio in Hong Kong. “When engaged on canvas, I additionally had the sensation of touring with each brush and shade used,” he says.
Hei is presently getting ready for a Might present at Tang Up to date, a course of that includes touring to a number of international locations to discover their landscapes, one thing he has not been in a position to do since earlier than the COVID-19 pandemic. Certainly one of his works may even be seen with Gallery Exit for Artwork Basel Hong Kong. Discover extra on the artist’s web site and Instagram. (by way of This Is Not Happiness)
