Title
(Untitled)
from The
Spirit
of
Harmony
Description
Piece
from
Spirit
of
Harmony
, a
twelve
piece
suite
,
acrylic
on
paper
.
Like
many
contemporary
painters
,
Wang
Ming
works
in
series
; the
works
in the
Fairfield
collection
are
all
multiples
: the
pair
of
acrylic
on
canvas
works
that
hang
in the
Canisius
stairwell
; the
twelve-piece
suite
on
paper
on
view
in the
library
; the
pair
of
paintings
in
acrylic
on
paper
in the
Quick
Center
; and the
lengthy
scrolls
painted
on
paper
and
mounted
on
linen
that
hang
in the
lobby
of the
science
building
. These
works
indicate
the
range
of
style
and
technique
that
characterizes
Wang
Ming's
painting
, from
monochrome
brushwork-style
painting
that
alludes
to
both
traditional
Chinese
brush
painting
as
well
as to the
gestural
painting
that was
being
created
in the
New
York
art
world
when
Wang
Ming
first
arrived
in the US from
China
in the
mid-20th
century
; to
works
of
rich
and
subtle
color
, to the
more
bold
color
and
brushwork
of the
scrolls
.
All
are
abstract
, as
is
characteristic
of the
artist's
work
in
general
; his
abstract
styles
may
be
understood
as
referencing
not
only
the
long
tradition
of
calligraphy
as an
abstract
art
form
in
China
and the
inherently
abstact
nature
of
much
traditional
Chinese
painting
but also,
again
, the
avante-garde
art
movement
Abstract
Expressionism
,
which
dominated
the
New
York
art
world
in the
mid-20th
century
.
Wang
Ming's
work
consciously
and
seamlessly
bridges
and
unites
these
varied
aspects
of his
own
artistic
heritage
and
interests
.
