Wong Ping's Fables

Hong Kong-based artist Wong Ping is known for his child-like animations, sculpture, and site-specific environs that tell unsettling stories of human nature. He began his career in art-making after pursuing broadcasting and cartoon post-production, later founding his eponymous Wong Ping Animation Lab in 2014. The artist's practice is situated between the discords of morality and transgression, surrealism, and political theory, through which he confronts his viewers with the fraught territories of perversion and humanity's base motivations. The artist's narratives are delivered in a paradoxical, faux-naïf style of rudimentary imagery that offsets their profound complexities.
