Selected exhibitions include The Strange Archive (Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore Art Week 2026); Sama-Sama (Whitestone Gallery Singapore, 2025); Many Worlds at a Glance, Many Worlds All at Once (Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, 2024, part of LASALLE40); Signs and Wonders, Sighs and Wanders (SUPERMAMA Flagship @ 213, 2024); Commoners (Esplanade, 2017); Liminal State (Mizuma Gallery, 2016); and At Source (ION Art Gallery, 2015, Young Talent Programme Winners’ Solo Exhibition).

His works have also featured in the Singapore Night Festival (Opera in Motion: A Dynamic Tribute to Chinese Opera, 2024) and Light to Night Festival (Art in Motion: The Merlion Dance, 2021), and internationally at the AWAGAMI International Miniature Print Exhibition (Japan, 2023), Bienal do Douro (Portugal, 2018), Sabanci University (Turkey, 2010), and Pocket Films Festival (Japan, 2007).

Wong holds a Master of Arts in Art Education from Nanyang Technological University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) from LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London.
