Born in 1946, Wang Gongyi has been creating art for decades. The Tianjin native studied printmaking at Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, and went on to teach there, before studying art education in France in the late-80s. The artist’s latest works show Wang turning away from the anger and grief that marked his youth, towards a more euphoric future where life is to be cherished. Take his abstract ‘Blue’ series for example, where the blue watercolor represents floating water and mountains. The spare, minimalist works are striking in their simplicity and beauty.
