Catalogue Note

Between classical Chinese landscape and modern design theories, the two main driving forces in his creative journey, Wucius Wong aspires to a realm where he attains total harmony without loosing his own identity.  'Design theories that concern exclusively the creation of basic shapes and their organization actually deal with the universal principles of visual order. Visual order underlies all works of art that exhibit harmony', Wong explains his fundamental in art.
