Introduction by Hans Werner Holzwarth. Interview by Weng Xiaoyu.
The first monograph on the colorful and disorienting painting of Wang Jiajia
Beijing-born artist Wang Jiajia (born 1985) mixes video-game imagery with abstract expressionist techniques to produce densely layered paintings that engage us with eyes glowing behind thickets of brushwork. In the artist’s words, “I want to create works that draw you to them, battle for your attention, that are like a counter to all the rest of the shiny stuff online.”
