Time map book

Artistic Inspiration: Mathew Wong
Mathew Wong was a young painter
that I have known and loved for a
couple of years. His dreamy and mystic
lansdcapes in oil are beautiful works
of paintings. They are 2-dimensional,
however they still have an amazing
sense of depth and mystery to them.
There is great detail that goes into his
works often applying pointilism. His
work has been extreemly visually interesting
to me because of the balance
between chaos and tranquility. The
dots can imply repettive disruption
while the loose brushstrokes give me a
sense of peace and tranquility. The balance
is phenomal and the beauty of the
landscapes are inspiring. When finding
out about his death in the Spring of
2019 I started heavily researching him
looking at everything I could find. I
read that he had tourettes and OCD,
when I read that it was like an epiphany
that perhaps explained the narrative
soff some of his work and thats when I
felt a true sense of conncection to it. It
made perfect sense to me, the balance
between the chaos and tranquility
almost ffighting eachother. When I
started thinking about the time map
I started looking through a lot of his
works and ultimately found this.

The reason I found this peace particularily
inspiring with regards to my
time map is the use use of pointilism
throughout but in differrnt colours inspired
my dots on the canvas. The path
in the middle is a linear progression
of time as the charcater in the centre
in this case myself makes his way
through time. The road is windy and
every changing. The tics are sometimes
better, sometimes worse. This piece in
particular even though not his most
beatiful, really spoke to me as a time
map of identity in its own sense and
inspired my ideas for the
two main factors of my work, the tics and time. The path representing,
time and the dots representing the tics and the person
representing me. I love how this piece may be looked at completely
differently depending on wether you know he had tourettes and
deping on wether you have tourettes yourself.
The constant battle between peace and chaos where only one thing
is innevitably certain; time moves on.
