  • Adrian Kay WongLos Angeles, CA

    Adrian Kay Wong (b. 1991) is a Los Angeles-based artist who depicts subtle narratives and interactions from the seemingly incidental moments of the everyday. Characterized by domestic interiors, motifs from daily life, and casts of light and shadow, his paintings balance an exchange of abstraction and representation, surface and depth, and organic and geometric form. Interwoven with his own memories, story, and cultural identity, Wong's paintings embody an intimacy and familiarity encapsulated within a stillness like a bated breath. In these vignettes of extended moments, Wong examines the coexisting dualities underlying our daily experiences. Notions such as intimacy and estrangement, transience and permanence, and belonging and isolation lie in the understated tensions inherent to the day-to-day. Structured carefully in measured compositions, Wong gives space to reflect on the personal dialogues often overlooked, yet intrinsic to self-discovery, empowerment, and reflection.
