Master Wong has been learning and developing his passion for Chinese Philosophy over 30 years and is now integrating this into his artwork. Master Wong’s vibrant style comes from a deep spiritual tradition that evokes strong feelings of love and beauty and a sense of joy from nature. It is hard not to be inspired by the feelings that his paintings captivate and he truly believes in the artist’s duty to inspire the viewer. Re-emerging as an artist after spending so much time understanding compassion and wisdom gives Master Wong a unique understanding and sensitivity to his art. Master Wong uses the colours popular in the Tang Dynasty when the cultural and the spiritual arts were at their peak and the primary subject matter of Chinese painting was the landscape, known as shanshui (mountain-water) painting. In these landscapes, usually monochromatic and sparse, the purpose was not to reproduce exactly the appearance of nature but rather to grasp an emotion or atmosphere so as to catch the "rhythm" of nature. Then as now Master Wong used brushes and bright green and blue paint to show high rocky mountains and cliffs, with rivers, rocks, and trees. Master Wong is not interested in showing what nature really looks like, like a photograph. Instead, he conveys the spirit of that place - what it felt like to be there. Master Wong does not put in all the details, just enough to give you the appropriate feeling and believes it is better art if you can express the same feeling with fewer lines. Master Wong's style is made all the more powerful when you consider his profound spiritual qualities and the vibrancy this brings to his work.
