Stephen Wong's artistic passion thrives on exploration, weaving together travel photography, raw sketches, memory, instinct, and imagination. His canvas becomes a mosaic of bird’s-eye vistas portraying vast landscapes and historic sites, defining his artistic journey. Wong's fusion of reality and fantasy births ethereal realms accessible solely through his vivid portrayals. His immersive depictions, employing a prismatic palette of sharply contrasting, intense hues, pay homage to the influences of David Hockney and Felix Valloton. From their organic structures and simplistic forms, Wong draws inspiration. Utilizing a compelling visual lexicon, Wong mirrors plein air painters' spontaneous techniques, capturing nature's essence. Armed with a sketchbook and paint, he ventures on extensive hikes, beckoning viewers into a vibrant world of rolling hills, valleys, babbling streams, cascading waterfalls, and iconic landmarks enveloping his native Hong Kong. Through painting from recollection and preliminary sketches, Wong embraces interpretative liberty, offering a window into his creative psyche. His fluid brushstrokes serve as a stylistic signature, freezing moments in time—the gentle evening light kissing a mountain's summit or the relentless crash of waves against the shoreline.
