 Biography
Born in Vancouver, B.C. in 1956, Alex Fong's
interest in art began at a young age. However, it was not until his
study of interior design that he discovered the medium of watercolour
and the freedom of colour and expression that matched his vision of the
world.
Alex's early works reflected a traditional oriental technique. As his
talents flourished, Alex developed a personal style that has since
become his hallmark. Alex's paintings are a kaleidoscope of light and
colour - a bouquet of wonder and whimsy. The sense of delight that
accompanies them, draws the viewer in for a closer look. His
translucent, impressionistic paintings are distinguished by a parade of
coloured flecks that he calls "confetti", to represent his celebration
of life. The result is an exquisite balance of spontaneity and grace.
Though Alex's artistic vision continues to evolve, his works reflects a
fresh and youthful outlook.
Alex Fong's work has attracted the attention of fine art collectors
since the early days when he exhibited at Vancouver galleries, through
his years as a touring member of the Western Lights Artists Group. Alex
has exhibited in both Canada and the U.S. for over fifteen years. His
watercolours are featured in both private and corporate collections
throughout the continent.
Alex has developed close relationships with the art community in Alberta,
and exciting artistic associations at his home in the Okanagan, with the
Valley's wine industry and charitable organizations. He participates in
celebrations of art, food, music and theatre, reflecting his deep
commitment to the cultural nurturing of his own community, and to art
education.
Alex Fong's artistic vision continues to evolve, his work reflecting a
delightfully fresh and youthful outlook. " A child views the world with
optimism and wonder. That is what I hope to accomplish with my art. Each
day, I look forward to creating something new and wonderful" he says. "I
paint to make people feel good, and put a little joy into their lives."
Joy, splendour and whimsy, sprinkled with a few unusual
surprises.................
