Jiajia Wang earned his BA Honors from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in 2008 and currently divides his time between Beijing and London. Wang belongs to a generation influenced by the popularization of television, the advent of the Internet, and the spread of pop culture. There are various sources that the artist draws upon during the creative process: video games, cartoons, song lyrics, movies, sports, and memes. However, in his latest series, Wang has embarked on a new artistic path, abandoning digital collage-based imagery to focus solely on drawing and line work. Drawing inspiration from traditional
Chinese Shan shui art (a style of traditional Chinese painting that involves or depicts natural scenery or landscapes using brush and ink rather than more conventional colors), the artist plays with line drawing to create emotionally impactful images. The new artistic direction has allowed his to explore a world of romance and mystery, enriching his works with new meanings. He employs a palette of contrasting colors with the intention of creating intense sensations, skillfully manipulating chromatic clashes. Jiajia Wang is an artist who
continues to challenge conventions and transform his worldview into works of art with extraordinary visual impact.
