Artist: Victor Wang
Dreaming Away - Highly Textured Dream-like Painting with Surreal Nautical Theme
By Victor Wang
Located in Chicago, IL
Victor Wang's subject is a female seemingly caught in a contemplative moment yet a war rages behind her. She dons a hat shaped as a boat and carries and oar as if to "Dream Away" these other thoughts. Wang uses a blend of luminous colors and buttery textures to evoke these enigmatic moments of meditation. Influence by the Renaissance Masters Titian and Rembrandt for their glazing and layering techniques respectively, the artist builds the surface using heavy paint, swirling and mixing the color on the canvas. The end result is a poetic and emotionally powerful representation of the human form.

My path through life has been adventurous, exciting, and dream-like. My experience of settling into America in search of better opportunities has been both challenging and inspiring. I use the human face as a vehicle to paint human experiences - worry and wonder, sadness and pleasure - which reflect the emotional stage directly tied to my immigration experiences.
I grew up amongst the sunflower fields in northern China. In my childhood years, I played under the bright, yellow sunflowers with my brothers everyday. China’s Cultural Revolution played an important part in my life. During that time, sunflowers were used as political allegories to depict how citizens of China should follow Mao who represented the sun, since sunflowers follow the sun’s movements. People eventually inferred the deception that this symbol masked. After graduating from high school, I was sent to a labor camp in the country for ‘reeducation’ during China’s Cultural Revolution. There, I was subject to grueling farm work. Often, I worked in corn and sunflower fields from sunrise to sunset. Thus, for me, sunflowers evoke both personal joy and sadness. Therefore, to deliver my complex feelings, I use sunflowers as a metaphor to connote my background and emotional stage.
My incorporation of collages of figures from China’s Tang Dynasty represents my Chinese heritage and is a constant reminder of where I came from. The texture and earthiness on the canvas’s surface are inspired by the texture of the soil on the farm where I worked in China.
Although I often gain great pleasure from the process of painting, it is most important to unfold expressively those feelings within myself.
Wang belongs to a generation of immigrant painters from China, whose artistic background was defined by socialist realism but took advantage of their skills and broke away from that tradition to create new subjects in the U.S.
“When I was a student during Cultural Revolution, Soviet realism art was among the dominant source of influence and it grabbed us like lightening rod...

Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Serenity" is an enchanting artwork that immediately captures the viewer's attention. The focal point is a woman, portrayed with grace and elegance. Oladapo's attention to detail brings the subject to life, with each brushstroke conveying a sense of peace and serenity.
The woman's calm expression exudes tranquility as if she has discovered a profound inner stillness. Her eyes reflect a sense of contentment and acceptance, inviting viewers to join her in a world of peace and joy. The artist's careful use of color and light further enhances the soothing atmosphere, creating a sense of harmony and balance within the artwork.
"Serenity" embodies the idea that every moment of our lives can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity, regardless of external circumstances. The artwork encourages viewers to embrace the present moment, finding solace and happiness in the simple pleasures of life.
The woman depicted in the artwork serves as a symbol of inner strength and resilience. Her serene expression represents an inner journey, a state of mind that can be achieved through mindfulness and self-reflection. She invites viewers to let go of worries, anxieties, and the constant pursuit of external validation, and instead find tranquility within themselves.
The emphasis on "every breath we take, every step we make" underscores the notion that serenity is not confined to a specific time or place. It is a mindset that can be cultivated in each moment, whether we are walking in nature, engaging in daily tasks, or simply pausing to take a deep breath. The artwork encourages viewers to approach life with mindfulness and to find joy in the present moment.
