Under the moon- shimmer #1 Painting

Known for her circular landscapes, Chinese-born artist Wanru Kemp, now based in Okotoks, AB, Canada, intertwines memory, emotion, and imagination with the serene beauty of North American natural scenes. With inspiration in Asian landscape painting and literature, Wanru's paintings transcend mere representation, inviting viewers into a meditative exploration of nature's rhythms. Her choice of circular formats creates immersive portals that blur the boundaries between the observer and the observed. This unique approach, coupled with her deep reverence for the natural world, Wanru seeks to create a haven of peace and introspection, reminding us of nature's soothing presence in an increasingly disconnected world. Her paintings, a harmonious blend of Eastern heritage and Western experiences, resonate with a diverse audience and invite a contemplative engagement with the environment.
