Shuilam Wong is a wandering creative. Raised in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Beijing, she has developed a need to observe and record her surroundings. She studied illustration at the Camberwell College of Art in London, where she developed her minimalistic and graphic style.
Shui’s practice is deeply influenced by the art of reportage drawing, which documents real events and situations through hand-drawn images. Her subjects are largely strangers in busy public places, such as subways, cafes, bars and live music venues.
Experimenting across various media, her body of work is as diverse as her upbringing. They include print, digital, moving images and live performances.
Projects
- TESLA - PRINTPosters, brochures, tags and other marketing collateral are often needed at various test drive and pop up events. Working closely with the marketing team, we would propose and create appropriate designs that will best aid the event. For example, for the Tesla Junior Academy, a sustainable energy workshop for young children, bright red badges were made for staff and participants, to not only distinguish themselves as part of the event, but to also make sure children were highly visible.
- TESLA - 365 DAYS ZERO EMISSIONIn collaboration with Tencent, this interactive HTML 5 was created to help users visualise the amount of money saved and pollution reduced from driving a Tesla car for one year. Cups of coffee and number of trees are used as comparisons. Inputting location and destination leads to a map of the journey and eventually the results page.
