""The exploration of the interior has long been a central concern in modern and post-war art-from the vibrantly coloured and patterned domestic scenes of Matisse and Vuillard to the emotionally charged spaces of Munch, Van Gogh, and Duchamp. Matthew synthesised these traditions into a unique visual language, employing dense colour and expressive brushwork to transform rooms into vivid, non-naturalistic settings.""
""a promising self-taught painter whose vibrant landscapes, forest scenes and still-lifes were just beginning to command attention and critical acclaim""

A major exhibition of rarely seen works by Matthew Wong will open at Palazzo Tiepolo Passi in Venice from 9 May to 1 November, coinciding with the 61st Biennale. The show will include 35 works dated 2015–2019 and will explore interiors, both physical and psychological. The exhibition is organised by the Matthew Wong Foundation, established by Monita and Raymond KP Wong in 2020 after the artist's 2019 death. Curator John Cheim highlights Wong's synthesis of modern and post-war interior traditions and expressive use of dense colour. The catalogue includes a text by Nancy Spector. The foundation has opened headquarters in Edmonton and plans publications and a catalogue raisonné.
