Wucius Wong was born in Guangdong and moved to Hong Kong in 1946. Interested in literature and art, he started learning Western painting on his own in 1956 and later became a student of Lui Shou Kwan. In the 1960s Wong studied at Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio and Maryland Institute College of Art. Wong's paintings integrate elements of Chinese classical painting, Chinese and Western literature, and graphic design. He is fond of painting landscapes from a bird's eye view, a perspective unheard of among classical painters. Although Wong always uses Chinese ink, he incorporates in his composition geometric shapes and lines that disrupt the traditional rules of scale and distance. With meticulous brushwork and subtle treatment of light, Wong creates modern and boundless natural sceneries. With the theme "heaven, earth and man", Wong hopes to express the interdependence of the various elements of the world and the idea of continuity in nature.
