WANG XUAN

Born  in  Guangxi,  China   in   1979,  graduated  from  the  department  of  oil   painting  of  Guangxi  Arts University in 2002. From 2005 to 2011, studied at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe as the disciple of Professor Erwin Gross and earned a master and meister duo degree. Now lives and works in Munich.

Wang Xuan combines classic images from European and Chinese art with everyday items in his work. He mixes unrelated things in unexpected ways, making classical icons seems out of place and time. His style blends traditional  art  with  modern  touches  that  might  look  like  mistakes  but  surprisingly  creates  a balanced effect. These images become more like symbols than specific messages. In doing so, Wang’s art focuses more on his personal expression rather than carrying deep, philosophical meanings.
