About Ronald
Wong:
A scientist by training , Ronald Wong specialised in biochemistry
for his degree in Britain. After some years working in the Health
Service in London, he made the decision to pursue his childhood
interest in art and since 1976 has been a professional artist.
Although his strength in recent years has without doubt been
in the very specialized realm
of aviation, his first artistic forays were into areas no less
challenging----portraiture, animals, wildlife and landscapes.
Particularly memorable are his portrayals of many prize breeds
at London animal shows in those early years.
Aviation had made an indelible impression when growing up close
to the flightpath in Hong Kong, and when he joined the Guild
of Aviation Artists his work quickly began to attract attention
and win prizes.
An additional boost was the interest and appreciation shown
by overseas Air Forces, in particular the United States Air
Force, with which he continues to have a close association and
cooporate in artistic projects.
The vast majority of his work are specially commissioned “from
source”---directly from airmen or Squadrons in which his aim
is to achieve not only technical accuracy but to capture the
unique atmosphere and dynamism of different flight scenarios,
no less than the realism and vitality imparted to his wildlife
work.
Ronald continues to be one of the most successful independent
artists, which, with his wide-ranging interests, suits him particularly
well.
