Matthew Wong’s imaginary landscapes and interiors give him the opportunity to express his ideas, memories and feelings.
The solitary figure amidst an overwhelming landscape is a recurring theme. This reflects Wong’s own feelings of loneliness and melancholy.
For Wong, the imaginary landscapes are not only a means of artistic expression, they also serve as a refuge – a safe and enchanting world into which the artist can escape. The artworks are a mirror and offer comfort.
Wong’s creations are highly personal, but they also strike a chord with viewers. The pictures are both recognisable and impalpable. You can get lost in the landscapes, but they can also be alienating and melancholic.
