Noble Wong is a Hong Kong muralist, illustrator, and plein air artist.
He uses the city as his studio and the streets as his models, capturing the colors of his place amidst light, shadow, and crowds. For him, plein air painting is not only a way of observing the city but also a means of engaging in a nuanced dialogue with history, architecture, and culture.
He graduated from the Multimedia Master's program at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His graduation animated short film, Little Meteor, was exhibited at the SIGGRAPH Student Exhibition 2008 and the 2nd Hong Kong Mobile Film Festival, among others. He has been dedicated to plein air painting since 2014, actively participating in various plein air painting groups. In 2015, he founded Noble Sketchbook, becoming a full-time illustrator and muralist. In 2018 and 2026, he published the art books Collecting Hong Kong's Daily Life and Whispers, respectively, recording the everyday landscapes of the city with watercolors and sketches.
He has participated in numerous public art and mural projects, including the "City Gate Chronicle" mural on the iron gate, the mural at Sai Ying Pun's Art Lane, the Shanghai Street 618 mural, the mural at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the "1868" mural at Ma Wan, and the "Tai Kwun" mural; he also collaborated with a Taiwanese film distributor to create a mural for the film In the Mood for Love in Taipei. During his time in the UK, he also created murals for restaurants themed around old Hong Kong.
His illustration collaborations include Henderson Land Development, Sino Land, Dah Sing Bank, Watsons Group, ParknShop supermarkets, Po Leung Kuk, Ap Ling, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, University of Hong Kong, Urban Renewal Authority, and various government departments. He has also collaborated twice with Chung Ying Theatre Company, creating key visual illustrations for the stage plays Miracles of the Namiya General Store and Homecoming.
He continues to explore different themes, styles, and media, moving between sketching, illustration, and mural creation; in recent years, he has also devoted himself to sharing his creative experience through teaching.
