Wong Wai Yin (born 1981), also known as Doris Wong Wai Yin, is a Hong Kong-based interdisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, collage, installation, video, performance, and photography. Her practice often draws from personal memory and addresses broader themes in art history and gender representation. [1] [2]

Education and Career

Wong earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2004 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Leeds in 2005. [3]

She was involved with the Asia Art Archive (AAA) as a project assistant for the “Materials of the Future” documentation project in 2009 and returned as an artist-in-residence from 2010 to 2011. [4]

Wong co-founded the Observation Society, an independent art space in Guangzhou. She has also taught at institutions including the City University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where she joined the Department of Fine Arts in 2012. [5]

Artistic Work

Her work often reflects on personal narratives and broader socio-political concerns. A notable example is the 2008 black-and-white video Tribute to Inside Looking Out – For the male artists along my way, which critiques gender bias in the art world. It is part of the collection at M+, Hong Kong’s contemporary visual culture museum. [6]

Wong has exhibited in major cities including Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Guangzhou, and in the United States. [7] [8]

Personal life

Wong resides in Hong Kong and is married to fellow artist Kwan Sheung-chi. [9] [10]
