Biography
Adrian Kay Wong (b. 1991, USA) is a visual artist working primarily in painting, with involvement in installations, murals, and other disciplines. Adrian's work depicts figures and settings in a minimalistic manner, developing visual systems in his image-making method. This involves a compositionally focused approach, abstraction of forms,
repetition of shapes, and controlled color decisions. His work is also characterized by a subversion of depth through a flattening and segmentation of surface. His subject-matter pertains to the ordinary environments of the everyday, examining more subtle
dynamics that are often considered sedentary, overlooked, or sentimental. Adrian lives and works in Los Angeles, USA. To request additional works please contact specialist@aucart.com
