'As a "hyphenated Canadian of Chinese extraction, Paul Wong was obliged to live out the conflicts inherent in that situation. On the one hand was the desire to preserve his cultural roots, on the other the pull towards integration. The artist's works testify to complexities and contradictions of a sort experienced by many young Canadians, and delineate a long journey with numerous fluctuations between rejection and acceptance, sadness and euphoria, until finally an equilibrium is attained. In his often controversial works, Paul Wong makes us travel through the myriad twists and turns of our culture, which can be both superficial in nature and contradictory."
(Abstract from foreword by Dr. Shirley L. Thomson, Director of the National Gallery of Canada)… (altro)
