WU SHUANG: Else Where

Wu Shuang explores the meaning of inner spirituality and freedom, employing an intuitive and spontaneous approach to her practice. She constructs form and composition through dynamic brushstrokes, layering colors in a way that generates a striking tension while simultaneously achieving a delicate sense of harmony across the canvas. In her earlier explorations of printmaking techniques, Wu sought to transcend the limitations of flat, monotonous two-dimensional painting by actively incorporating fluorescent, highly saturated colors. The interplay of bright tones with subtle dark undertones intensifies the impact of her works, while her ability to maintain clarity and transparency across multiple layers remains a defining characteristic of her style.
Following the global pandemic, Wu has been dismantling spatial boundaries, incorporating new environments and emotions encountered through her travels into her art. Her time in Seoul follows this path, as she explores the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity within the city. The experience has expanded her use of color and composition, adding new dimensions to her artistic language.
Embracing spontaneity and serendipity as fundamental elements of painting, Wu Shuang perceives the process of transforming uncertainty into possibility as the essence of art itself.Else Whereextends this exploration, visually manifesting her cross-border perceptions and internal rhythms.
