王一

Intro： Born in Shanghai in 1991, Wang Yi’s practice is closely related to the new abstract movement in China initiated by Ding Yi. His works on canvas are influenced by Frank Stella and Vasarely as they rely on chromatic variations and geometrical shapes to create an illusion of movement and depth within the canvas. As to his works on aluminium, he maintains the same construction and only relies on the number of layers applied to the plate to vary the effect and theoutcome. His artistic production is typical of the new generation of Chinese artists, many of whom choose to abstain from any political or social commentary in their creations. Wang Yi’s works have already been widely exhibited including in group shows at MoCA Pavilion (Shanghai, China), at the Mingyuan Art Museum (Shanghai, China), at the Chengdu Contemporary Art Museum (Chengdu, China), at Boxes Art Space (Shenzhen, China), at the SPSI Art Museum (Shanghai, China) and at the Ningbo Museum of Art (Ningbo, China).
