The Artist Ivan Wong - Ivan Wong is an emerging artist born, raised, and based in Hong Kong. He is also a local advocate of the Artivive AR app in the Hong Kong region. His artistic creations combine art and innovative technology, utilizing AR as a medium to showcase dynamic oil paintings to his audience. He is known for his unique depictions of traditional Chinese historical stories and figures, infused with his personal emotions and creativity. To him, AR is like a time machine that can transport people back to ancient times. With his multifaceted background in traditional art techniques, animation production, and innovative technology, he has carved a unique path in his art journey that suits his abilities and passions.
Ivan Wong graduated from the Queensland College of Art in Australia with a Bachelor's degree in Digital Design in 2006, and his time spent studying and working in Australia for eight years was a crucial starting point in his creative journey. In 2019, he earned a Master's degree in E-commerce from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and his exposure to various innovative technologies has opened up even more possibilities for his art.
Wong's artwork has been recognized by numerous prestigious international art competitions and publications, including the Rome International Art Exhibition (2022, Rome), the Natural Art Exhibition (2023, New York), and Art Review Magazine (2023, Guangzhou), among others.
In his own words - He believes that in this era of rapidly advancing technology, it is essential to explore methods of coexisting and growing with technology. He firmly believes that "technology" and "tradition" can coexist harmoniously. He also believes that the presence of humanity imbues authenticity, with a soulful human spirit. Every civilization on Earth, including Asian culture, Western culture, and cultures from other regions, has its own valuable cultural and philosophical traditions that are worth learning from, and sometimes there are commonalities among them. "Human imagination and soul remain the world's most precious wealth." He will continue to pursue the rationality, entertainment, and consistency between oil painting and animation, as well as explore more possibilities in the field of "art."
