Wang Guang
Wang Guang, a native of Jinzhou (Liaoning Province) in Northeastern China. Born into and grown up in this land of rich cultural and artistic heritage, Wang Guang has adopted a mainstream approach in his expression and interpretation of fine art. Armed with an intense love for painting since young, he graduated from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Art and later took up a master programme with the Faculty of Fine Art in Central Ethnic University, specializing in oil painting.
Wang Guang manifests his artistic talent through the medium of oil and canvas and he approaches his subject matters with a touch of romantism and expressionism. His favourite subject matters resolves around people and objects of Northeastern China, which some of us are familiar with and thus, develop a profound feeling, either consciously or subconsciously.
As a Northeastern Chinese, Wang Guang inherited the characteristics of boldness and ruggedness, which are the hallmarks of Northeast China; as opposed to the delicacy and intricacies of Southern China (e.g. Jiangshu and Zhejiang regions). He shows this through the strong and bold strokes that he uses liberally in depicting his subject matters such as peasants and flora. For example, his interpretation of lotus, a species of water flora, is both soft with tenderness and bold with strength. Wang Guang is able to balance such paradoxes and handles them with ease and confidence.
