WANG Guangyi
Chinese 1957
Born in 1957 in Harbin, China, Wang Guangyi studied oil painting at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 1984. Considered one of the leading figures of China’s post-1989 Political Pop movement, Wang’s paintings combine motifs from Communist propaganda with advertising in a style strongly influenced by American Pop Art, illustrating the clash between Communist politics and Western capitalism in contemporary China. Wang Guangyi’s work has been shown at major exhibitions around the world, including the 1st Biennial Art Exhibition in Guangzhou in 1992, the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993, the 22nd Sao Paolo Biennial in 1994, and The Asia-Pacific Contemporary Art Triennial in Queensland, 1996.
