Autumn River

Wong Hau Kwei was born in Chongqing in 1946 and worked as a textile businessman before retiring to become an artist. In the 1970s, he studied art under Huang Zhou in Beijing. Wong’s paintings combine refined lines, meticulous brushstrokes, and geometric composition, creating a visual harmony that evokes his background in textile. His paintings often present natural scenery, modern architecture, and social commentary simultaneously, and his ability to balance these elements has become his signature style. It is as if different elements are woven together with needles and threads, resulting in a cohesive whole.
