About Caison Wang 



Caison Wang (b. 1991, Guangdong) graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Arts with a B.F.A. in 2015
and received her M.F.A. from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2019.
Wang’s painting practice integrates 3D modeling technology, traditional oil painting, and electronic screen art, resulting in an innovative collision of these three elements. After sculpting characters and scenes in 3D space, she combines these virtual elements with traditional oil painting on physical canvases, creating a new form of landscape and character imagery. These characters and scenes retain the texture of traditional art while showcasing the abstract colors of electronic screens and the explosive feeling of flat anime. Wang presents her work in exhibitions in a serialized manner, depicting the development of characters in the story.



Her painting practice also involves the concept of "image turns," which explores the evolution of art history systems from past paintings and photographic images to digital images, network images, and even post-network images and concepts of artificial intelligence. In this ever-renewing world, images continue to operate in an open-source manner. Wang’s work, in this context, is not only an exploration of traditional art forms but also a profound reflection and response to contemporary image culture and technological development.


Wang’s recent solo exhibitions include Happy Birthday, traverse, Beijing, China (2023) Hyperland, DE SARTHE, Hong Kong, China (2023); Pantheism,2xGuan Contemporary Art Space, Luoyang, China (2021); Unconscious Hierarchy, Swatch Art Center, Peace Hotel, Shanghai, China (2019); and Unconscious Hierarchy, Trios Gallery, Atlanta, USA(2019).

关于王韫琛


王韫琛,1991年出生于广东,现工作和生活于上海。2015年毕业于湖北美术学院,2019年毕业于美国萨凡纳艺术与设计学院获硕士学位。

王韫琛的绘画实践融合了3D建模技术、传统油画与电子屏幕艺术三者的融合进行了创新性的碰撞。通过雕刻的方式在3D空间中构建角色和场景后,她将这些虚拟的角色和场景与传统油画结合在实体的画面中,建构了新形式的风景和人物图像。这些角色和场景既保留了传统艺术的质感,又展现出抽象的电子屏幕颜色以及扁平动漫的爆裂感。王韫琛在展览中以系列化的方式呈现,以展示故事中角色的发展。

她的绘画实践还涉及到“图像转向”的概念,这一概念探讨了艺术史系统从过去的绘画、摄影图像,逐渐转向数码图像、网络图像,甚至到后网络图像和人工智能概念的发展演变。在这个不断再生世界中,图像以开源的方式持续运行,王韫琛的作品在这一背景下,不仅是对传统艺术形式的探索,也是对当代图像文化和技术发展的深刻思考与回应。
