Yuan Wang

  • I've been working as a contemporary artist in China since 2006 when the Chinese art market was booming. Luckily, my work was shown in a few exhibitions and auctions over the years. However, after a few years, I grew tired of this commercial repetition of art even though I love my pig series.

    In 2019, I moved to the UK and trained to be an art psychotherapist. Meanwhile, without commercial pressure, naturally, my focus on art switched to human beings, cultural differences, and discrimination since Covid-19. And art, for me, becomes a bridge between my two identities, artist and art psychotherapist. I put my feelings and understanding/assumptions of the people I draw/paint into my artwork. What fascinated me was not the accuracy of my assumptions, but the unknowability.
