Flame on Painting

Jack Liang Wang was born and raised in Shanghai, from an early age and under his father’s influence, Liang was trained in Chinese calligraphy for 7 years. During this extensive training, Liang was also exposed to drawing & painting which he later found to be a better art form with which to express himself and his ideas. Following his passion, he pursues part time fine-art courses and continues to be self-taught whilst creating most of his painting techniques independently. Painting is a way of meditation for Liang, that helps him to find peace and allows his emotions to flow naturally and genuinely onto the canvas. The early practice of Chinese calligraphy taught him the balance of Yin&Yang, and the beauty of the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete; whereas his other practice in industrial design and mechanical engineering has led him to a very minimalist style that nevertheless appreciates the quality of simplicity residing amongst the aesthetic essence of the subject. This appreciation is reflected in Liang’s artwork which is formed in his own style: figurative yet selectively segmented, impressionist yet minimalist. Instagram Profile:
