Whirl With Merle 02/22 by mexit | Travel Podcasts: Artist Poyen Wang Radio Interview
Rewoven exhibition will be held at QCC Art Gallery/CUNY
opening reception:March 30, 2017 5-8pm
Pieced together from fabric-like plaster components, the white bust of Poyen Wang's Construction of intimacy signifies his healing or acclimating to a new environment. For this piece, he smashed a 3D print sculpture to fragments then gradually sewed it back together to form a complete face. His work is less open to the outside world but more personal and profoundly investigates the self. Theatrically projecting light onto a resewn face casts up an iconographic great man, and alludes to a fake or self-content social situation. In the brave new land, fragility morphs into apparent dominance. A formidable stitch fabric book Atlas demonstrates both technique and manual expertise. The prototype of a landscape was captured from a painted wall in the New York City subway. Processing these images, he stitched together the fabric book by assembling digital pigment prints on silk fabric. These urban and nature landscape application to an unaware delaying motion video piece. The projection where the artist intended to project the contraction with the rush crowd nowadays we experience in the urban and his preferences.
