Artist Bio

Adrian Wong Shue was born on the Caribbean island of Jamaica in the West Indies
when the island was still a British Colony. His formal studies were in Kingston,
Jamaica and Los Angeles, California. He exhibits widely in many major galleries
throughout the United States, as well as in Jamaica, Korea, India, France, and Germany.

Although Wong Shue is popularly known for his intricate paintings on Japanese natsume
and Chinese rice paper, his oeuvre of recent decades, on a wider scale, consists of a
much varied range of media. These include drawings in pastels, charcoal, ink, and pencil,
as well as woodcuts and etchings. His paintings consist of oil on canvas, gouache, acrylic,
and watercolor. The more distinctly figurative works by the artist are often executed from
a combination of direct visual observation with live models and images often drawn from his
prolific imagination.

Some of the artist's current work is influenced by his early exposure to local island art that
was primarily West African in origin. However, his more figuratively inclined oil paintings and
drawings reflect his early, formal training during the 1960's at Kingston College under Professor
Alexander Cooper and his tutorship under Chinese drawing master Alfred Chin in Kingston, Jamaica.
Given the varied influences in Wong Shue's background - formal training in a British inspired academic
atmosphere, tutorship in the traditional Asian discipline of art, and early exposure to local
Caribbean island art - it is not surprising that the artist's current work shows more than traces
of his formative years. Adrian Wong Shue currently works from his studio in Los Angeles, California.
