This exhibition presents a comprehensive retrospective of Ms. Anita Wong Chen-Ching Wen’s artistic career, showcasing the essence of her lifelong creative endeavors. Known for her serene and unassuming nature, Ms. Wong was deeply compassionate and approached all living beings with empathy. This profound sense of humanity is reflected in the tranquil and expansive atmosphere of her works. A lifelong admirer of nature, she often drew inspiration from the natural world, imbuing her art with an elegant and organic aesthetic.
As suggested by the exhibition title, “10 Years of Remembrance”, this event also embodies the spirit of legacy. Alongside her own works, the exhibition features outstanding pieces from past recipients of the “Anita Wong Chen-Ching Wen Painting Creation Award.” Although Ms. Wong has since passed, her legacy endures through the Anita Wong Chen-Ching Wen Charitable Foundation. Under the leadership of her son, Chairman Warren Wang, the foundation remains committed to nurturing the next generation of young artists and continues to uphold and support Ms. Wong’s lifelong passion for art.
