About Dake Wong
Biography
Born in 1982, Dake Wong is an oil painter and graffiti artist who has been creating art since he was a child. Since 2000 he has focused on figurative painting and has a strong interest in people and the individual. In 2010 he began working with stencil graffiti, which he says, has a simplicity that can't be achieved in oil painting. 'Stencil graffiti is an other way of expression, which juxtaposes against the detail and precision of oil painting. By removing excessive decoration, the art work is streaming and bold, its message clear.' he explains. The light-hearted works on display show Wong's view on contemporary society in China's capital.
