Work description
Wang makes multiple allusions to the past in both technique and in subject matter. The fine lines, refined colouring and subtle tonalities are reminiscent of illustrative printing from the Ming and Qing periods and Japanese surimono. Reflecting the ‘new literati’ interest in traditional culture that emerged in the post-Mao period, his subjects are often a witty contemporary take on historical visual and literary genres.
