The Art of Ping Wang

Picture

​Mad World uses symbols and metaphors, the language of  

20th-century Surrealist art, to create a dream-like alienated and bizarre visual world, which explores the connection between inner emotions and nihilism. 

The past, present, and the future are manifested through the combination of photography and digital painting. Most of objects in this project are based on the real memory, so first of all photography is a way to remodel the past scene. After that, on the basis of digital painting,  to surrealize the true world, distorting and incorporating it within emotions. Therefore Mad World is not only a relic of the past but also an unfinished dream.

Farewell in the End of September Mad World by Ping Wang

Chasing the madness is easy to get lost, because in the course of time, life and death, pain and fragility, affection and tranquility are always alternating cycles in nothingness. The answer might never be found, whether the obsession and memories is the only theory that can keep people survival in the mad world?
“Why does someone have to die?”
“Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more. It's contrast.”
“And who will die? ”
“The poet will die, and the visionary”

Virginia Woolf "
The Hours"
Ping, thank you so much for letting us share your art with our readers. Okay, let's keep things simple to start, pen, pencil, or phone, which one do you reach for when you need to write something down?

I prefer to phone, it’s very convenient. But I have always believed in the charm of handwritten letters. So I do this for some important people, like families.

Which artists have influenced your current artistic direction? 

​I got so many inspirations from poem, painting, film and even animation. I can alway learn something. I like Baroque and surrealism, like Giorgio de Chirico, Caravaggio, René Magritte, they have fascinating visions
What advice would you give someone who is just starting to send their work out to journals?

I would recommend read art history and learn from masters. Also be open to any form of art, learn as much as you can. Then go back to yourself, try to dig out your own story. You can’t mimic anyone forever. Last thing is keep working, feel the world.
