Artist / Apple Wong
“In my painting, I subtracted the sexual characteristics of human body. Afterwards, everyone's the same. They are "human beings", just like me and you." Apple Wong Hiu Fung is a Hong Kong artist. Upon her graduation from the School of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University, she has held personal exhibitions in Hong Kong and has participated in various art exhibitions and expos. Her works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Belgium, England and Singapore. In 2017, she published a poetry and painting collection named "Summer of Freedom" in cooperation with local poet She Kwan and publisher Art and Culture Outreach. In 2018, she independently published a zine called "One Portrait One Arabic". She acquired The Derwent Art Prize Young Artist Award in 2016, artwork was exhibited at London Mall Galleries. In 2011, She was awarded the Hong Kong Cliftons Art Prize 2011, the selected work has been collected by Cliftons. Body speaks louder than words.
Apple's art has always attempted to comprehend the essence of human being. She appropriates subtle gestures and body shapes to interpret certain topics: relationships, independence, eternity, faith, etc. Through creating artwork, Apple records life experience, keeps exploring the private part of our soul. She believes the individuality of human being is the most beautiful and unique part in our lives.
