Catalogue Note

The paintings by C.C. Wang, epitomise the richness of elements in both traditional Chinese painting and Abstract Expressionism. His incredibly astute understanding of Western art history and exceptional skill for traditional brushwork are revealed in his elegant, yet complex landscape paintings. The success of his works lies in part in their aesthetic beauty, but more importantly in the preservation of the literati spirit through their technical quality and intellectual virtuosity.
