About Chao Wang

 
 
  • Biography
    My art explores the strangeness and intellectual beauty of the natural world, inspired by science fiction and surrealist art. I'm attracted to things that are unexpected and weird, especially the shapes and textures of organic objects. My work often incorporates asymmetrical forms, creepy creatures, and exotic landscapes. For this piece, I imagine myself as an insect, an organic, alien creature, settling into a moment of rest. Set in a cozy lounge with a window overlooking the Mati Temple, the scene becomes a personal sanctuary where I can breathe, observe, and simply exist. I take inspiration from the textures and patterns of natural objects such as mushrooms and insects, and use that as a starting point to create complex, multi-layered compositions. I mainly use oil and acrylic paints on canvas, using a variety of techniques to create texture and depth. My goal is to make the viewer feel a sense of contradiction and tension. By blurring the boundaries between insect and human, nature and architecture, I hope to evoke a sacred space that feels both strange and deeply personal, a moment of peace within a chaotic world. It’s an invitation to notice the small things, the subtle things, and to find sanctuary in unexpected places. I'm excited to join Artfinder’s artist-centered platform, where thoughtful, original work is valued, especially with a personal invitation from the senior curator recognizing my creative vision.
