Adrian Kay Wong (b. 1991) presents encapsulated moments that portray settings of the everyday, often subjects and scenes that comprise seemingly incidental circumstances of daily life. His paintings display a focused lens on the intimate and familiar, reserving a care for the sentimental, melancholic, and quieter experience of personal narratives. By exacting a deliberate and measured flatness that levels the attention between primary subject and contextual elements, Wong explores the subtleties of the ordinary, overlooked, and often missed.

Wong was raised in the east San Francisco Bay area and, after receiving his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2013, now lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
