Artist Hong Bao, Whisper in Your Ear, Rock Painting

Wang Xiao Rong likes adventures which is something that pushes her to experiment a lot. Her work is composed by a multitude of materials and mediums. She will use objects such as leaves and papers in her paintings in addition to ink, Chinese painting, and oil pigment, according to her requirements. Thereafter she will often use those materials to create some forms of collages. Each material and colour has an emotional characteristic.

“From a macroscopic perspective, my works examine states of life existence and mourn about how life is short and time vanishes”.

The following piece is a mixed media composition.  The first layer holds shades of green which we could interpret as being in the deep waters of the ocean. Wang added some origami shaped boats on the canvas. Some are covered by green layers, some are above, as if a few boats had drowned in the ocean and a few were still surviving.

Sail, is one of the few pieces from Wang where figurative and abstract meet. She created a lovely smokey and abstract sea, behind a body of origami-like shaped boats. Some of the boats are clearer than others depending on the colour and placement in the work. We can’t quite figure if all the boats are supposedly in the the see or the shore which adds another abstract and mysterious layer to the narration of the painting.

Wang allows a space in her works for the audience’s own interpretations and emotions. She has a very loving and peaceful nature, yearning for good and looking towards the future which is depicted into her art. The works very much talk about romance, sincerity, amiability and nature.

Time’s Up is a mixed media piece composed in majority by a gloomy palette creating a mysterious atmosphere. The bottom half holds the darkest colours, and the top half introduces rays of light into the painting with shades of white and light turquoise. The shapes are quite abstract, yet,  you can notice a crowd of people, rectangular shapes in the middle of the piece that could resemble briefcases. It seems the piece reflects on the everyday life routine of going to work. Our brains are switched onto “automatic” and we forget to actually live the present.
