Simplified Chinese: 展望, pinyin: Zhǎn Wàng Zhan Wang
Born in 1962 in Beijing, China, Wang entered the Central Academy of the Arts as a sculpture major in 1983."Zhan Wang's career as an iconoclast began with In a Twinkling (1993), an installation of superrealist figurative sculptures. The figures' style was not new, but the method of installation was: after creating a group of figures in poses of arrested movement, he propped them in unlikely positions outside a building, creating a surrealistic vision of a world gone awry," wrote Britta Erickson in Art Journal. He is known for being a contemporary Chinese sculptor, however, he is also known in other art forms such as: installations, photography and video. His pieces content of conceptual ideas where he “embraces and subverts several other major traditions in modern art, both Chinese and Euro-American”. Many of his works include the use of simplistic object(s) that serves a purpose of telling a complex idea. Many of his ideas that are expressed through his works pertain to the Chinese Culture. 1993 he was featured in his first exhibit and since then he has been show cased in over 125 exhibits, 24 of which were solo exhibitions. His last exhibition was "My Personal Universe" in 2012.
