Wang Sishun 王思顺

Wang Sishun, born in Wuhan in 1979, graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2008 with a master's degree. He currently lives and works in Beijing.

 

From Wang's previous works Uncertain Capital (2009 - ongoing), Fruit (2014 - ongoing), Abyss (2014 - ongoing), Truth (2014 - ongoing) etc., one can observe his long-standing interest in natural laws and social mechanisms. His work is typically concerned with time and duration, which lead to powerful imagination and unknown future. His "Apocalypse" series in recent years combines geology and anthropology together, reflecting the identities of different ethnic groups of human beings as well as their spiritual implications and personality traits behind it. It connects the history of man with the course of cosmic time beyond man.

 

Wang Sichun has been invited to participate in Diriyah Biennale, Asian Art Biennale, Thailand Biennale, Echigo-Tsumari Art Field, Yinchuan Biennale, Art Encounters Biennial, Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art, and Asia Triennial Manchester. His works have been exhibited in well-known art venues such as the UCCA Dune Art Museum, the Hong Kong Grand Kwun Art Museum, the Salomon Foundation for Contemporary Art in France, the National Gallery of Georgia, the Cass Sculpture Foundation in the United Kingdom, the Graz Art Museum in Austria, the Daimler Art Center in Germany, the Borusan Contemporary in Istanbul, the Ullens Art Center, the National Art Museum of China, and the Luge Peggy Center for Contemporary Art in Italy.
