nATHAN WONG

THE BAY AREA BASED ARTIST NATHAN WONG IS KNOWN FOR HIS COLORFUL PAINTINGS INCORPORATING GEOMETRIC PATTERNS AND IMAGERY INSPIRED BY THE SCALABILITY OF PAPER FOLDS. DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM COLOR COMBINATIONS FOUND IN FASHION AND NATURE AND MERGING THEM WITH HARD-EDGED LINEAR SHAPES, THE ARTIST ENCOURAGES THE VIEWER TO PLAYFULLY CHALLENGE THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF DEPTH AND BALANCE.

“I APPROACH EACH PIECE AS A WELL STYLED OUTFIT. THE IDEA OF PAPER AND A SIMPLE FOLD TAKES ME BACK TO CHILDHOOD WHEN A SIMPLE, EVERYDAY PRODUCT COULD BE MANIPULATED INTO WHATEVER THE MIND COULD IMAGINE. WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY AND STARTING POINT I PAINT WORKS THAT ARE FORMAL YET PLAYFUL AND UNIQUE.”

AMERICAN, B. 1975
