Xue wang is a Chinese painter who did her masters at the University of Westminister as a fashion designer. She designed for big brands but her passion for fashion eventually fizzled out, while her lover for painting grew.
I lover her work because even though she is largely illustrative, it is clear in her work that she has natural skill and talent, not only in her blending but als0 her eye for detail, colour and composition. I think what makes her work extraordinary is that it tells a story, even multiple and each story is a symbol for some political statement that Xue tries to express to the world. I also like that when you see one of her painting that it is clear that it is a Xue Wang original. She has her own style and voice, and it makes me feel a little bit more confident in myself because I don't have one yet but someone who has such clear direction such as Xue didn't find hers either until much later.
Here is a link to a presentation I did on her
