Brent Wong b 1945
Born in 1945, Wong was brought up and schooled in Wellington. He studied at the Wellington Polytechnic College, however left after a year, disillusioned with the College’s move away from fine arts training. From the early 1960s onwards he drew on a number of inspirations. Among them were his local natural and architectural environment, magazine reproductions, and international artists such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky with their emphases on the spiritual and intuitive, the mesmerising skies of English Romantic Joseph Mallord William Turner and the emotionally loaded and painstaking paintings of American painter Andrew Wyeth.
