Description
  • "Featuring paintings that I have done in the past decades, the present exhibition is divided into four sections to highlight the four directions that I have taken. The section Brush and Ink Expressions is about my ongoing experimentation with expressive painting in recent years. Developing from the Tradition represents my return to the origins after incessant exploration. Structuring with Geometry shows how the correlation between structure and space is redefined with design aesthetics. which in fact underlie all my works whatever the grouping. Seeking Diversities demonstrates how untrodden paths are explored through numerous crossover attempts." -- Wucius Wong

    "今次的展覽包括我數十年來的畫作,分作四組陳列出來,代表了我四個方向:「筆墨顯情」是近年多以意筆寫成的作品,此路線仍在發展中。「傳承立新」反映我不斷探索,最終回歸本源。「幾何建序」一組畫中,則以設計美學建立新的結構及空間關係。其實這路線也常在其他各組作品隱約反映出來。「尋異求變」是不斷嘗試以不同方式跨界,探索自己還未走過的新徑。" -- 王無邪

Abstract
  • Wucius Wong was born in Guangdong province, China in 1936 and grew up in Hong Kong. He obtained his BFA and MFA from Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore in 1965. In 1974 Wong joined the Hong Kong Polytechnic as a senior and later principal lecturer in the School of Design and remained with the School until he moved to the US again in 1984. During his ten years' career at the Polytechnic, Wong made significant contributions to the development of the School of Design, and indeed the design industry of Hong Kong.

    Following his second return to Hong Kong in 1996, Wong received an Emeritus Fellowship from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in 1998. In 2007 he was awarded the Bronze Bauhinia Star Medal by the Hong Kong SAR Government, and he was honoured at Asia Society's Art Gala in 2015. Wong currently serves as an adjunct professor in the Department of Fine Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and as an adviser to a number of art bodies, including the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

    王無邪1936年生於東莞虎門鎮,幼年遷居香港。1965年獲馬利蘭藝術學院頒授藝術學士及碩士學位。1974年獲香港理工大學前身香港理工學院禮聘,擔任設計系高級講師,1977年晉升為首席講師,迄1984年移居美國。期間在藝術創作、設計理論研究方面,進入成熟階段。任內建樹良多,既改革課程,另延聘多位優秀教師以加強師資,更培育無數學子成材,對理大設計學院乃至香港設計界發展得以蒸蒸日上,享譽全球,居功至偉。

    1996年回港定居,1998年獲香港藝術發展局授與藝術成就奬,2007年獲香港特別行政區政府頒授銅紫荊星章,2015年獲亞洲協會選為年度藝術家。現任香港中文大學藝術系兼任教授、香港特區政府康樂及文化事務署博物館專家顧問等職。
