“I see my paintings as mirrors that connect all the creatures in the natural world.” - Freya Fang Wang
Freya Fang Wang’s practice is rooted in the interconnection between Taoist philosophy and her immersive experience of the natural world, speaking to contemporary philosophical and social concerns around the climate and spirituality. Her visual language is informed by a meditative painting process that engages both her body and consciousness, viewing her ethereal paintings as webs that connect all creatures in the natural world.
Born and raised in Beijing, she seeks to speak to the universal human experience beyond the distinctions of Eastern and Western cultures, a concern that is present in her approach to materiality. Wang’s meticulous technique combines rice paper, acrylic, ink, plaster, and glass paper, resulting in works defined by their uniquely textured surfaces and delicately layered colours.
