WANG Yi 王一 b.1991

Born in Shanghai, China, Wang Yi graduated from the Second Studio of the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Art, where he obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees. He seeks to combine slow and intricate classical painting techniques, the standardised production methods used to create industrial materials, modernist design, and architectural paradigms, turning into abstract expressionism which illustrates social mechanisms and natural elements. Wang Yi is a member of the new generation of Chinese abstract artists. Many of them conceal political or social commentaries in their creations, but those critiques and confrontations of the realistic context are rooted in their diverse abstract art language. Wang Yi's works use symbolic structures, colors, shapes, and materials to explore the relationships between urban development, ideology, history, and nature that we are experiencing.
