About the Item
Edition 1/5
WOWSER NG is a China-born, London-based visual artist. He graduated from University of the Arts London with a master's degree and also received a letter of recommendation from Steve Brodner in 2019. Wowser is known for his digital paintings, in which bright colors, and fashionable products, Asian queers have developed a unique painting language. Defining his practice as a challenge to pop culture, he appropriates fashion products to form unique visual narratives to explore Gen Z, media influence, and materialism.
The artist says of his work...
"Fast," "hype," and "packaging," brings extravagant material consumption, as well as symbolic business culture, which makes the power of the individual irresist the tide swept. Therefore, it easily leads the public to succumb to quick and temporary popularity.
The existence of pop culture further defines the commodity's connotation as anti-art, making the commodity and commerce a symbol of overturning high spirits attacking traditional art.
My work functions by appropriating fashion products, and commodities. These sleek and gorgeous images depict generation Z, an era of rapid material economic development, and attempt to highlight the dangers of continuing to support materialism. When I put forward the issue of the relationship between commodities and people, the audience needs to reflect on the influence of the media in generation Z on us and question the power of the fashion/product industry endorsement. My painting combines abstract and figurative, which is a challenge to Pop art. I develop the painting practice of combining abstract and Pop with a visual narrative to reveal the pop culture under the influence of the current society.

- Cleansing A Shrike/ Blackbird's Bath - Hand coloured Print in Walnut frameLocated in London, GBHand-coloured portrait of a bird-like spirit, immobilised in marble, cleansing in a spring-time bath. A character formed from Naiads (a Greek nymph of flowing water), and exploring the idea of a ritualistic cleansing to wash away sombre deeds. Taken from The Sialia Marbles, a series of portraits containing ephemeral human sculptures taken between 2016-19. Together these works act as tales contained in a fictional sculpture hall, in direct reaction to Andre Malraux’s 1947 Le Musee Imaginaire (Museum Without Walls). During the beginning of the 'Museum Age' in the 18th century , writer Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe discussed mythical sculpture...Category
