Artist's Profile

Wong Tin Yan was born in HK. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, Chinese University of Hong Kong at 2000. As a sculptor, he likes to collect some discarded wood pellet to create cartoon animal sculptures either by Chinese joining techniques or in D.I.Y. furniture style. His works are not only affordable and comprehensible, but also symbolic of the philosophy about usefulness and uselessness, the transformation of gravitas into humor, and the migration from tradition to contemporary. That makes his works well received by the public and his works were collected by Hong Kong Museum of Art, local and overseas private collectors.

Wong Tin Yan was also active in local and overseas exhibitions. He was the first artist having exhibition in a showcase train on railway around the world. He also finished a series of cross-over project with world-famous brands in recent years, such as SPORTMAX (Italian brand), LOUIS VUITTON (French brand), MUJI (Japanese brand), Lee (American brand) and izzue (Hong Kong) respectively. Moreover, he had awarded by Perspective magazine as 40 under 40, the next generation artist 2010 and an entry prize in GDC 11 (Commercial interior design)
