Wang Xiaobo, born in 1974, Beijing, China Graduated in 2000 from the Central Academy of Fine Arts
Wang Xiaobo has held several significant large-scale exhibitions internationally, causing recognizable artistic influence at home and abroad.
In Wang Xiaobo’s works, our memories are a quiet reflection of daily life’s dramas. To him, his artistic intention was never to express a strong personal opinion or desire, but more of creating awareness and mutual understanding among people when they view his works.In the oil paintings of Wang Xiaobo, the human form confronts the viewer. While his early paintings of robust nudes in awkward poses call to mind Lucien Freud, it is interpersonal relationships that have taken center stage in his more recent works. As a series, the works explore the continuity of relationships throughout time, while serving as a vehicle to explore the artist’s own inner world. “In the process of searching vulnerability and sensitivity within me, I created each piece with my perception of life,” Wang has said.
