Wong Ping

Wong Ping

Wong Ping’s faux-naif, candy-colored animations have taken the artworld by storm. Simultaneously unsettling and laugh-out-loud funny, they present an absurdist version of Hong Kong’s urban life beset by isolation, frustration, and simmering desires. Wong shared the thinking process behind his practice while on a tour of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin, Hong Kong.

Temple of Reason

Temple of Reason

Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s Altes Museum stands as a serene ode to classical harmony. Completed in 1830, its stately Ionic colonnade and grand rotunda invite contemplation, embodying the Enlightenment ideal of public access to art and knowledge. In ikonoTV’s slow art format, the museum’s neoclassical lines and balanced proportions unfold gradually, allowing viewers to appreciate the architectural rhythm and the quiet dialogue between structure and space. This visual meditation offers a timeless encounter with a building that continues to inspire reverence and reflection. This work can be seen at [The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin-Altes Museum,https://architectuul.com/architecture/altes-museum].

Tutti Frutti

Tutti Frutti

Seductive as the strategies of conquest which govern our present age, the works from the Treats series display themselves as giant and colourful ice cream cones, slices of tart and cupcakes put together through the accumulation of different layers of plastic moulds - apples, pears, strawberries, blackberries, croissants and pretzels - commonly used to play at the beach. The oversized scale and the colourfulness capture the immediate attention of the viewer, despite not entirely concealing the consequent hollowness of the objects.
