KIKI WANG
Biography / Works / Related News
Kiki (Xuebing) Wang was born in 1993 in Henan, China. She received her BFA from University of California, Los Angeles in 2016 and will graduate from Royal College of Art in London with an MA degree in 2020. She now lives and works in London. Wang's paintings explore a twisted view of modern consumerism through the lens of luxury fashion and other objects of desire. Taken down from the spotlights and high pedestals, peeled off from massive billboards and commercial campaigns, the trending garments portrayed are trapped, marginalized, displaced, and obscured in the paradox of scale, location and value, examining the possibility to transform the non-valuable into the valuable, and to discern fictions from realities. Her recent group exhibitions include: CLC Gallery Venture, Beijing; Zona Mista, London; Sackler Gallery, London; Slime Engine Gallery, Shanghai; and New Wight Gallery, Los Angeles.
