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 watercolor and the freedom of color and expression that matched his vision of the world. 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 watercolors are featured in both private and corporate collections throughout the continent.
Faculty Information:
Alex Fong 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 color - 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 colored 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 will also teach and demonstrate in a one-day seminar at the scenic Heriot Bay Inn on June 6.
