Evelyn Taocheng Wang

  • Evelyn Taocheng Wang is an artist working at the intersection of various mediums, such as painting, drawing, video, calligraphy and installation, and notions, including traditional Chinese art, modern and contemporary art, colonial history, queer theory, femininity and feminism. Deeply informed by research and history, her work is renowned for its striking blend of imaginative, layered, fragmented, and paradoxical narrations across various forms. Her work aims to address fundamental and global cultural questions filtered through the prism of experience and impression in an attempt to blur and confuse fixed, categorical notions that shape our perceptions. Highly influenced by conceptual art and appropriation, which she embraces but twists with wit - creating imaginary dialogues between unrelated artists, producing ersatz of historical paintings or using traditional drawing methods to address contemporary subjects -  Wang’s practice can be seen as a constant, ongoing reflection on authenticity, transmission, identity and influence.
