A Rhythm of Landscape 48

Artist Profile

Wai Pong Yu was born in Hainan Island, China in 1982. At the age of 2, he moved to Hong Kong with his parents. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2006. Wai has developed his own oeuvre with ink from ballpoint pen on paper, spinning the thread of his emotion and mind continuously as one line as it multiplies in rhizomatic manner. His subject matter often relates to the notion of the cosmos, time, nature, across the fields of juxtapositions and metaphysical forms. He lives and works in Hong Kong.

Wai’s work has been collected internationally by public museums and institutions including Hong Kong M+, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco and the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford.
