DESCRIPTION:May 9 - Nov 1\, 2026\nMatthew Wong (1984–2019) began painting
  seriously in 2012\, after studying cultural anthropology\, then photograp
 hy\, then drawing. Seven years later\, at 35\, he died by his own hand. In
  those seven years\, Wong produced a body of work that drew comparisons to
  Van Gogh\, Vuillard\, Bonnard\, and the Chinese literati painters he stud
 ied obsessively. Roberta Smith called his work “among the most nourishin
 g painting” she had ever encountered. Wong’s life was turbulent: he li
 ved with autism\, Tourette’s syndrome\, and depression. He worked in nea
 r-isolation in Edmonton\, Canada\, posting his paintings to Facebook\, whe
 re they caught the attention of dealers and led to a debut solo show in 20
 18\, at New York’s Karma gallery. His second show\, “Blue\,” opened 
 posthumously at Karma in November 2019. Now\, in a Venetian palazzo\, his 
 eponymous foundation is presenting a show of never-before-exhibited works.
