This diptych by Xiyao Wang combines oilstick and charcoal on canvas to create a dynamic composition that references the mythological Chinese island of Penglai, a place of immortality and transcendence in classical tradition. The mixed media approach allows the artist to layer gestural mark making with the fluid qualities of oil, creating a dialogue between spontaneity and control across the two-panel format. The work engages with both abstract expressionist traditions and conceptual frameworks rooted in East Asian philosophy and landscape representation.
