Introduction

Wang Xin graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), Beijing China, where she earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Fine Arts. She currently lives and works in Beijing and Sydney.

Her work observes and summarizes the relationship between the external structure of nature and the body.

Connections between inorganic material and living matter leads her to metaphysical speculation and to the exploration of the intermediate states of the universe.

Juxtaposing death, rebirth, desire, and the fundamental particles of the universe with microorganisms, atomic molecules, crystalline cells, she deconstructs their vibrations, and transformations.

Pastel is Wang Xin primary medium and recently she creates large unique paintings made with silk screen printmaking process. Wang devices a unique approach to silk screen painting by firstly scanning her small scale drawings, significantly inflating the scale and combining with images of other works. Those blow ups, often additionally worked on with oil sticks, are than exposed to a single large screen. That screen Wang than uses to paint image in a single pull on the canvas, using small squeegees and multiple colors - often metallic and pearlescence ones. The process is intense, single printing session affair with the serendipitous out of control results associated with such unorthodox silk screening process.
