“Metal-”: Wan Yang

18 December 2016 - 21 January 2017

AIKE DELLARCO is glad to announce the opening of Wan Yang’s solo exhibition in the gallery “Metal-“ on December 18, 2016.

 

The exhibition will show his man-machine investigation of metallic texture on both canvas and paper. The title “metal-” refers to the virtual metallic texture he created, adding a sense of softness and fluidity into the sharp and solid nature of real metal. He tries to explore the combination and paradox of human and mechanic system by using various tools, including Wacom handheld boards, computer software, CNC digital carver, etc. Through depicting cold computer instructions with abundant manual labor, the artist applies arithmetical and engineering methodology in the art process. Meanwhile, he maintains his aesthetic perspective between the conversion of pixels and vectors.
