Dear Friends,

I hope this reaches you well and in good spirits! I wanted to share an update that I am participating in the group exhibition “Paper Planes” at SLATE Contemporary Gallery, in Oakland, California. I have three new smoke paintings on paper in the show that I can’t wait to share with you! I will be at the opening on Saturday, March 8th at 3pm and hope to see you there!

Here is an excerpt from the press release describing my work and that of fellow artist and kindred spirit Lisa Kairos. You can read the full press release which provides a wonderful overview of the show by visiting the link below.

"The tension between nature and technology, or between chaos and control, also comes through in the art of Lisa Kairos and Holly Wong, both of whose work explodes in all directions while at the same time drawing us into a series of highly detailed and purposeful marks made by drawing. Wong’s works stand out from the others in the show with their complexity of mediums, as the artist uses a combination of gouache, graphite, colored pencil, ink, candle smoke, and collaged drafting film in each piece."
