London-based Suling Wang studied with Peter Doig and works primarily on large-scale abstract landscapes on canvas. In her most recent works exhibited at Pekin Fine Arts, the artist produced a new series of large-scale paintings and smaller works on paper. In these works, origin, location and destination are considered in relation to the spatial and temporal qualities of an abstract landscape. Reds and magentas dominate the fluid compositions in broad swaths of color that interweave and create pathways across a pale ground. The paintings are built up in layers over a long period of time with curvilinear forms being defined and organized on multiple planes. Appearing to unfurl, fracture, and migrate across the surface, these allusive forms create a kind of contra/motion: a push and pull of the image, which relates to Daoist philosophy and to the folk influences of the artist’s rural upbringing.
