Painted in 2018, "Blue Night" exemplifies Matthew Wong's skill in combining sensitivity, fine craftsmanship, and direct references to art history in his paintings. The artwork presents a melancholic interior contrasted with a Fauvist-style outside view, offering a window into an imaginary blue room that captures a moment of real time and place. Inside the fictional setting, a single flower stands independently, attainable in its solitary beauty, while the outside world adheres to the natural order of things. Wong's masterful composition brings together elements of reality and imagination, evoking a sense of contemplation and emotional depth within the viewer.
