Harold Wong, who was a native of Hong Kong, began studying painting as an adolescent from Koo Tsin-yaw. By the age of 19, he had his first solo exhibition and continued to study and show his paintings worldwide during the following decades. Wong’s artistic evolution was deeply informed by his access to an exceptional number of paintings, through his travels to museums throughout the world, his access to private collections, and through his work as an art dealer. Wong was thus able to develop a distinctive style of landscape painting that created well developed compositions filled with myriad expressive brushstrokes, often enlivened by bursts of color.
