WONG JONG NONG : River Side, 1990
Est: RM2,800 - RM3,500
Wong Jong Nong relishes in the alfresco painting of rural and hilly landscapes, coastal areas and riverine scenes, often in a small group. For veteran artist Wong Jong Nong, painting became more of a responsibility than just a hobby. Most of his oil paintings depict the beautiful and idyllic scenes that are slowly disappearing to make way for development. “Compared with the modern and sophisticated places, the undeveloped land exuded a kind of feel that we could capture in our paintings,” Wong said. Once he selected his “angle” to anchor his composition, he would paint the scene according to part-reportage and part-interpretation, with an eye to the aesthetic elements as his Fine Art training at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Art in Singapore (graduating in 1964) had prepared him to do.
