Ivan Wong '82 (B.A. Art)
Ivan Wong '82 talks with the Daily Breeze about his exhibition at the Palos Verdes Art Center where he is exhibiting work that has never been shown before.
"An exhibit opening this weekend at the Palos Verdes Art Center combine a New York artist’s vision with an iconic California symbol — surfboards.
The show, “Chromium US 101,” a reference to artist Ivan Wong’s use of metallic surfaces and the highway that runs the length of California, features abstract paintings, surfboard sculptures and other works by Wong.
A San Diego native who has spent the past 35 years in New York, Wong graduated in 1981 with a degree in painting from UCLA before moving to the East Coast to study painting at Columbia. Since then, he has produced books with other artists and designers, and worked with companies such as Apple and Knopf and publications including The New York Times and Vogue, according to a release from the art center."— Cynthia Washicko, August 13, 2016
