Wangsim is pleased to announce the opening of Wang Yi’s solo exhibition at the Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou, titled The Shape Salon, to celebrate the reopening of the hotel’s 4th floor dinning space—now TANG, a magnificent new restaurant doubled up as a gallery space. The exhibition features a selection of recent paintings and sculptures from the Shanghai-based artist’s past 10-year practice and spotlights his long-term obsession with depicting cities, history and nature with a pure abstract reasoning.

Wang Yi (b.1991), graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the China Academy of Art, and obtained the BA and MA degrees. He seeks to combine slow and exquisite classical painting techniques, standardized production of industrial materials, modernist design and architectural paradigms to form abstract expressions that illustrate social mechanisms and natural elements.
-
Wang Yi currently lives and works in Shanghai, China. His works of art have been included in permanent collections of numerous international art institutions and cooperations, including China Art Museum (2024), Fosun Art Foundation (2021), Sifang Art Museum (2021), Louis Vuitton (2021), and Yeap Lam Yang Collection (2017).
