Arboreal Arthropod Painting

Chao Wang is a contemporary artist who draws inspiration from science-fiction literature and surrealism art. Her works are characterized by the presence of both organic and artificial elements, in a fusion that explores the human relationship with technology. Wang is interested in how human-beings interact with an increasingly technological society, exploring this through intriguing motifs such as cogs and machinery alongside more biological entities that appear similar to microorganisms. Fascinated by the strange and unsettling beauty of the natural world, Chao Wang creates intricate, multi-layered compositions that explore the tension and harmony between organic and mechanical elements. Her surrealist paintings depict an unusual world, using images from the past and present to convey her image of the world in the future. Born in Hangzhou, China, Wang began her artistic journey at a young age, experimenting with various mediums and techniques. With a focus on oil and acrylic on canvas, Chao Wang creates textured, visually complex pieces that challenge viewers' perceptions of what is natural and what is artificial. Through her work, she aims to create a visual dialogue between the natural and the technological, exploring the paradoxical connections between these two worlds.
