Shading Project (Bottles)

Victor Wang

Victor Wang was a visiting artist from St. Louis, Missouri who spoke at WKU on Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Victor’s works have been shown in numerous galleries both national and international. He is originally from China. He was 18 years old during the Cultural Revolution and was taken out of school to work on a farm. The labor was severe and painful. A lot of his paintings come from this experience. He puts a lot of emotion into each of his pieces with the majority reflecting his former time in China, his wife, and his daughter. He bases the style of his painting on some of those from his favorite artists such as Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Christo, and Kiefer. Victor said that he only paints when he’s mad or upset not when he’s happy.
