Wang ZhiWu
ChinaWang ZhiÂWu is a Chinese pop artist, whose paintings and sculptures celebrate the life of children via whimsically caricatured animals. Although at first glance, Wang's heroes delight the viewer with humor and innocent charm, deeper themes lurk afoot. With sophisticated, scumbled brushwork and coldÂpaint patinas, Wang uses color and texture to allude to global land masses, oceans, seas, mountains, weather patterns, skies, and national borders. The overall effect of his paint handling is to create a sense of geopolitical mapÂmaking, rather than that of just mere 'flesh and fur!' On close inspection Wang's seemingly innocent animal protagonists turn out to be subtle referents of powerÂexchanges between mogul and maid, bad guy and bodyguard, the haves and haveÂnots ÂÂ even to an array of geeks, nerds, and n'erÂdoÂwells, seemingly striving to become calm, cool, and collected. Some of his protagonists haplessly go without ÂÂ the fate of the startled? ÂÂ while others fancy a social climb! In contemporary China's topsy-turvy world of instant billionaires, displaced peasants, newly minted capitalists, sorry slums by luxury condos, and bureaucrats puzzled by the mixed signals of free markets with the old, top down communist order, it's no wonder that one of China's most successful contemporary artists should take on such themes ÂÂ even if they are 'masked over' by his sheer love of 'cute' animals and the glorious life of children.
