Artist‘s Statement

Freya Fang Wang (b. 1986, Beijing China) is a London based artist whose practice is deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy and culture. Her immersive and dynamic paintings explore the Tao – a cosmic force which is believed to flow through all things and binds them as one together. A belief in our connectedness with the natural world is at the centre of Freya’s practice and inspires her large-scale meditative works, which speak to contemporary philosophical concerns around the climate and spirituality.  

Her visual language is informed by a painting process that engages both her body and consciousness. Swirling marks and sweeping brushstrokes are layered intuitively across the canvas, creating webs that mirror the flow and vibrations of energy that move constantly throughout the Universe.

Colour is integral to the paintings and Freya plays with deep tonal clashes and subtle variations in intensity, reflecting the drama of sunsets, the galaxies and the Northern Lights. Inspired by her trips to the rugged countryside of Devon, England, she meticulously combines oil pastel, acrylics, inks and plaster to create ethereal compositions, resulting in works with uniquely textured surfaces that reflect the rich and diverse interconnectedness of everything in the Cosmos.
