The passing of time is a theme underlying much of his work, and his canvases also serve the function of a personal archive. Two of his recent se\u0026shy;ries are \u003cI\u003eTerrazzo \u003c\/I\u003eand \u003cI\u003eCoffin Paint\u003c\/I\u003e. In the first Wang’s striking abstract paintings are based on a unique mo\u0026shy;tif: detailed and meticulously rendered terrazzo floors in a varying array of colors. These images take weeks to develop, and the results readily recall the Color Field Painting of Abstract Expressionism. The \u003cI\u003eCoffin Paint \u003c\/I\u003eseries is inspired by a tradition originating from his native region of Fujian, where it was once custom\u0026shy;ary for sixty-year-olds to buy their own casket and subsequently cover it with a new layer of Chinese lac\u0026shy;quer once a year—in a joyous celebration of longevity. The artist uses a related technique to develop paint\u0026shy;ings of an almost sculptural nature that convey im\u0026shy;mense spatial depth.\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'TheSansOsF Plain'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44879023931656,"sku":"9783775738255","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775738255_a963bc7e-8e1a-461c-b3d2-bf236431742f.jpg?v=1744146728","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17572-wang-guangle","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
