Wong Yuk Shan

Wong Yuk Shan (b. 1995) obtained a B.A. of honors in Fine Arts with a minor in Chinese Language and Literature from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2018. Wong is currently developing a comprehensive series on the inner state of the human being with the belief that emotions are essential components of personality in the present era saturated by exterior information. Primarily working with oil or mixed media on canvas, digital image, ink, video, and text, she portrays human silhouettes in abstract figurative form and uses heavy layers of colors and marks to reveal an individual's mood and ambiguous relationship between people. The series is also Wong's virtual narrative that recalls encounters with others, explores collective experiences in certain situations, and evokes viewer’s empathy. Wong is one of the young emerging artists in Hong Kong with several outstanding academic fine arts awards, including Mr. Kevin Chan Scholarship, Sovereign Art Foundation Students Award, and Madam Jan Yun-bor Memorial Award. Since graduation, she has had two solo and several group exhibitions including Art & Cultural Outreach, Sir Run Run Shaw Hall, Green Wave Art, and Hart Haus.
