With swooping lines and a unique perspective, the movement in Wang’s paintings creates the illusion of ever-expanding spatial relationships. Drawing on her knowledge of both classical Chinese mountain-and-sea scrolls and the minimalism of Cy Twombly, these artworks appear to grow larger upon each viewing. While this effect is certainly within the tradition of Chinese painting, Wang invents her own interpretation of calligraphic gestures, using paint, charcoal, and oil sticks. Wang’s presence is visible in these gestural strokes like a shadow of a dancer moving behind a screen.
