Early life


Originally from Otaki, Wong's family moved to Wellington in 1949, where he has subsequently lived.[1] As a child, he had difficulty reading, which led him towards drawing as an alternative means of self-expression.[1]


Art career


Wong's first solo exhibition was in 1969 at the Rothmans Gallery in Wellington when he was 24. The exhibition "excited extravagant critical attention: and overnight established the previously unknown Brent Wong as an important painter in the local context."[1]
