A beautifully illustratedexploration of the artistic andpersonal parallels betweenMatthew Wong andVincent van Gogh.
Shortly before his early death, Canadian artist Matthew Wong (19842019) emerged as a phenomenon. He started drawing and painting in 2011, at the age of twenty-seven, and within the space of just a few years had developed a highly personal style using intense colors to paint imaginative landscapes.Wongs expressively lyrical works were inspired by both traditional Chinese painting and Western art. He was especially influenced by Vincent van Gogh (18531890), not only in terms of his painting style and choice of motifs, but also in some aspects of his life. Both artists were self-taught, and both faced mental health issues. Wong saw his own life reflected in that of Van Gogh, and once said: "I see myself in him. The impossibility of belonging in this world."Matthew WongVincent van Gogh
