LOCAL ARTIST Wong Kin (above) strives to define the true meaning of art. First he says it's all about sharing. Then he says it is not something to show off. Later, he claims it's a concept that everyone should adopt.
'It's the foundation for everyone no matter what job you do. Art is about producing and creating. Even if you are an accountant or a businessman, the process from collecting information to presentation is already an art form,' says the 33-year-old.
Wong aims to share his view of the world, life and art in his solo show Illumination - Drawing and Installation Exhibition at Agnes b Librairie Galerie in Central.
This is Wong's first solo exhibition since he returned from doing his masters in painting at Wimbledon School of Art in the United Kingdom at the end of 2001.
He believes art, memories and feelings can be transferred into portable objects, and that art can be appreciated anywhere.
He paints landscapes on the inside of paper bags and on folded paper which can be stored in matchboxes. 'I'm always curious about what is inside a paper bag or a box, and [enjoy] the excitement of carrying things around.
