Wang Xin
Wang Xin (王欣) was born in Yichang, Hubei, China in 1983, currently lives and works in Shanghai, China. She graduated with a BFA from the China Academy of Art and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Wang has a penchant for challenging the archaic structure of the art world, as she often takes its institutions, systems, and dogma as her material. Wang is also a certified hypnotist, and uses her work to alter the viewer’s perception and affect their subconscious. Her signature use of pink adds to the hypnotising effect, and imbues a sense of ambiguity and fervency within her work. Her body of work takes the form of installations, moving images and new media.
Wang Xin's solo exhibitions include: Maybe It's Time To Refresh The Art World A Little Bit, chi K11 Art Space, Hong Kong (2019); Unknown Artists Agency – Wang Xin Solo Exhibition, K11 Art Village, Wuhan, China; chi k11 art space, Shenyang, China (2018); The Must-See Art Show Where You Can Find 10,000 Artists, de Sarthe Gallery, Hong Kong (2017); Every Artist Should have a Solo Show, de Sarthe Gallery, Beijing, China (2016); 8 HZ Hypnosis Lab, MoCA Pavilion Shanghai, China (2015); The Gallery, C-Space, Beijing, China (2014); Let's Play in the Name of Art, Antenna Space, Shanghai (2013).
