Wang He

After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University in 2008, Wang He joined the National Palace Museum to work on the reproduction of ancient paintings and calligraphy, and more than ten years have trained his artisanal skills and awakened in him the desire to create his own work through the accumulation of a decade of aesthetic knowledge. What is clear is that he has embedded a number of visual elements outside the Chinese tradition and a more contemporary lens language into the base laid by ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy.
