Collection: WAI HONG

Born in Shanghai in 1982 and grew up in Macao, Wai Hong attended School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales ) for her PhD program in Art and Language and was part of in many research projects. At age 17 she hosted her first solo exhibition with The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in Macao. Wai Hong’s is trained in classic Chinese ink painting, her extraordinary use of the brush manages the subtle nuance of the ink. Her unique touch paints magnificent forests but not compromising in any detail. Her artworks well fit into the local culture yet breakthrough the confined boundary of traditional subjects. Different from classic painting of ladies emphasizing in illustration the beauty of woman body, she paints femme items in fine details: lingerie, heels; she leads fashion with her ink and outlined the glamor of lace and body. Her feminism is throughout her creation with characters. Wai Hong current resides in Paris.
