Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce the New York debut of Taiwanese artist Suling Wang. Her large-scale paintings and works on paper demonstrate an ambitious attempt to move toward a new abstraction, addressing concerns about identity and location as an artist.

Through the layering of an expansive vocabulary of marks and disparate visual elements, Wang produces dynamic compositions that achieve a synthesis of painting and drawing. The notion of time and memory is introduced by the layers and shifting planes of the painting's surface. Social, ecological and geographical themes evident in Wang's paintings are a personal response to the changing landscape and rapid industrialization of her native island, and to her own sense of uncertainty regarding her place within different cultural traditions.
