Brushwork over 60-years
Exhibition Date: 15th Jun 2007 - 14th Jul 2007
Overview
Wong is the third generation Lingnan school artist. The Lingnan school was founded in the late Qing dynasty by painters Gao Jianfu, Gao Qifeng and Chen Shuren. The Lingnan School is characterized by being freer than traditional Chinese painting. It allows the artist to infuse his/her own feelings, interpretation of subject-matter and emotions into the painting. It does not demand a dogmatic approach in terms of technique or style. Like Western art, it encourages the artist to interpret the subject in his own way. Unlike the traditional Chinese school, which leaves the background white, Lingnan artists wash the back-ground to create a mood. Another difference is that it relies less on brush-work and so permits the artist freedom to explore, create and innovate.
