Wang Guangle

Wang Guangle (born 1976) is a Beijing-based Chinese contemporary painter known for his meditative, time-intensive paintings that explore the passage of time through layered accumulations of color and texture. His signature works, often referencing the traditional Chinese practice of applying layers of lacquer, build up hundreds of thin strata of paint that record duration and process as their primary subject matter. He is considered a significant figure in contemporary Chinese painting, with his work held in major international collections and exhibited globally.
