WangShui | kabinett

This presentation includes a range of media: oil, ink, copper, aluminum, and paper. The booth mainly focuses on WangShui’s recent experiments with ink that straddle a liminal space between eastern calligraphy and western expressionism. They often play these ideas and materials off one another to reach a parallax. This dynamic is exemplified in the works’ sensitivities to refraction/ obfuscation, surface/depth, color and light. Rather than approaching painting as an act of distillation or refinement, WangShui embraces it as a form of divergence. As algorithms increasingly modulate the way we think and breathe, the artist asks how intuitive mark-making has the potential to keep us embodied—how we can “sensate data in our bodies” and “redirect light.” Together, the paintings are not in pursuit of a cohesive style, but instead enact a constantly shifting flow of energy—an archive of resistance.
