Wang Zhiyuan 王志渊

Wang Zhiyuan (b. 1990, Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China) explores the ever-evolving images and the relational properties of image-making in his painting-centered practice. For him, the painting process as well as the medium itself represents both the inspiration and the reference behind his works, revealing expansive contemplation over the power relations embedded in art history as well as the contemporary art world. Probing the nuances he finds in the beauty of the imperceptible or the intangible, Wang constructs worlds of light and color in his meticulous works.
