Suling Wang

Biography

Suling Wang grew up in rural Taiwan and in 1993 moved to London, where she studied fine art at Central St. Martins. She completed her Masters degree in painting from the Royal College of Art in 1999 and has since been included in Painting 2004 at the Victoria Miro Gallery and Direct Painting at the Kunsthalle Mannheim in Germany. 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 lives and works in London.
