Alex Fong
About the Artist
"Art is not just about me. It is expanding other people's awareness of art and giving them an opportunity to see life in a positive light," says watercolour artist Alex Fong. "It's about making the world a better place in which to live."
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1956, Alex Fong's interest in art began at a young age. However, it was not until he studied interior design that he discovered the medium of watercolour and the freedom of colour and expression that matched his vision of the world.
Alex Fong's early artwork reflected a traditional oriental technique. As his talents flourished, Alex Fong developed a personal style that has since become his hallmark. Alex Fong's watercolour paintings are a kaleidoscope of light and colour—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 coloured flecks that he calls "confetti". The result is an exquisite balance of spontaneity and grace that reflects a fresh and youthful outlook.
Alex Fong has attracted the attention of fine art collectors since the early days when he exhibited at Vancouver Art Galleries and through his years as a touring member of the Western Lights Artists Group. He has exhibited his watercolours in both Canada and the U.S. and his artwork is featured in private and corporate art collections throughout the continent.
