Suling Wang

Biography

Suling Wang (b. Taiwan) grew up in rural Taiwan and moved to London in 1993, where she studied fine art at Central St. Martins. She completed her Masters degree in painting from the Royal College of Art in 1999. The cartoon-like and calligraphic forms in Wang’s paintings are overlaid atop others and suggest trees, stems and mountains. The imaginary settings with meticulously detailed layers are rhythmic and explore her sense of uncertainty relating to her identity within Eastern and Western cultures. The geography of Taiwan is a recurring theme in Wang’s paintings and her depictions are influenced by the oral traditions she experienced as a child. Suling Wang has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions including Painting 2004 at the Victoria Miro Gallery; Direct Painting at the Kunsthalle Mannheim in Germany (2004); Passion for Paint at Bristol’s City Museum and Art Gallery, The Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle, and the National Gallery, London (2006); Red Hot: Asian Art Today from the Chaney Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Texas (2007); Guggenheim Collection 1940’s to now: New York-Venice-Bilbao-Berlin at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia (2007); The Mountain where Whales Once Lived at UNION, London (2010). Suling Wang’s work can be found permanent collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The London Stock Exchange; and the Rubell Family Collection, Miami. Suling Wang lives and works in London.
