Martin Wong: Malicious Mischief – an exhibition.

Martin Wong was a painter who made pictures with his hands and brushes. He was born in 1946 and lived in America. Martin liked to paint scenes of cities, especially New York City. He used bright colors and made his paintings look like a mix of dreams and reality.

One cool thing about Martin Wong is that he loved to show the life of everyday people in his art. He liked to paint neighborhoods and the people who lived there. Martin also liked to include words in his paintings, like graffiti or signs, to make them more interesting.

Martin Wong’s paintings are special because they tell stories. They show the beauty in ordinary things, like buildings and streets. Even though he is no longer alive, people still enjoy looking at his paintings and thinking about the stories they tell.
