The exhibition explores the work of Matthew Wong and his undeniable artistic and personal connection with Vincent van Gogh. Wong rapidly developed a highly personal style with exuberant, mystical paintings and drawings, which are acclaimed throughout the world. This is the first large overview of his work in Europe.
