Nothing but Reality: My World in Painting

The exhibition will showcase paintings that are representative of the artist’s experiences of contemporary life in both Australia and China and will feature new works from a series of paintings, The High Dam Makes a Great Lake, exploring the controversial Three Gorges Dam of the Yangzi River in China.

Speaking of his artistic process, Wang emphasises the value of sensibility and imagination: “Just as there are manyways of life, so to there are many ways of art…..I paint with what I have and what I have found in life”.

Xuning Wang is from Beijing, China and is currently undertaking a PhD at Edith Cowan University (ECU) researching realism in art. His work has been exhibited widely including The Fremantle Arts Centre, The Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery, the Australian National University, and various galleries throughout China.
