Wan Chaoqian
Wan Chaoqian was born in Hebei, China in 1995. He graduated with an MFA in Painting from the Glasgow School of Art in 2017. Currently, he lives and works in Beijing. Wan looks to manipulating pre-existing im- agery predominately drawn from the Internet, visual culture and fragmented information whilst to formulate a landscape where the absurd and the paradoxical coexist in a way that echoes the art history. The tension of dichotomies, such as figuration and abstraction, chance and control, creation and deconstruction, empathy and apathy, rigidity and fluidity, cultivates a non-uniform format to explore the enchanting yet exhausting contemporary life and the control
mechanism within. His recent exhibitions include: “As You Like It”, BROWNIE Project, Shanghai, China(2022); “Grafting”, WK Gallery, Beijing, China (2019); “Caiju”, Nanshanshe, Xi’an, China(2019); “No Exhibition”, Himalaya Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2018); “Art<100”, King St Studios, Lancaster, UK (2017); “Glasgow School of Art Degree Show”, The Tontine Building, Glasgow, UK(2017); “Serving Suggestion”, The Glue Factory, Glasgow, UK(2016); “2 Years Licked”, The Grace and Clarke Fyfe Gallery, Glasgow, UK(2015).
