Wang Boyuan lives and works in London and China ( b.1998, CN )

​

Drawn to anomalies and absurdities, my works fantasise and alter reality, capturing personal experiences to document memories and express emotions such as fear, doubt, and joy. Influenced by fictional literature and existentialism, I engage in reflection and challenge perceptions of reality through various mediums, including drawing, moving image, installation, and writing. Employing humor and metaphor, I interrogate notions of normality, social constraints, gender and sexuality, underlying ideologies, beauty standards, elitism, and more. I try to explore the possibilities of life, its limitations, and the vast unknown.
