About the Item
WANG ZHI WU 王志武
1984 China
Wang Zhi Wu is well-known by personifying animals in his paintings. Animals in Wang’s paintings have cartoon-liked shapes. Their images mix with different animals’ appearances. Every protagonist in his paintings is mostly from his imagination.
For Wang, illustrating the actual outlooks of animals is not the main theme in his paintings. Those animals represent freedom, innocence or simple life. Cartoon style creates an imaginary phenomenon to look back on the genuine happiness that we have had in our childhood. He attempts to express spirits beyond reality to capture life in its purest form without giving into exaggeration or excessiveness. His works of art encourages people to start their own journey of optimism and self-discovery.
王志武以人物化的动物形象而闻名。每只动物都像卡通。动物们有着混合的形象，主要来自王志武的想像力。
对王志武来说，描绘动物的实际外型并不是他绘画的主题。那些动物代表着自由，天真或简单生活的象征。卡通风格创造了一个天马行空的想像氛围，回顾我们童年时期最单纯的快乐。他试图表现出超越现实的精神，以最纯粹的形式捕捉生活，而不会夸大或过度。他的艺术作品希望能鼓励观众展开乐观而自我探索的旅程。

Wang ZhiWu
Wang ZhiWu is a Chinese pop artist, whose paintings and sculptures celebrate the life of children via whimsically caricatured animals. Although at first glance, Wang’s heroes delight the viewer with humor and innocent charm, deeper themes lurk afoot. With sophisticated, scumbled brushwork and coldpaint patinas, Wang uses color and texture to allude to global land masses, oceans, seas, mountains, weather patterns, skies, and national borders. The overall effect of his paint handling is to create a sense of geopolitical mapmaking, rather than that of just mere ‘flesh and fur!’ On close inspection Wang’s seemingly innocent animal protagonists turn out to be subtle referents of powerexchanges between mogul and maid, bad guy and bodyguard, the haves and havenots even to an array of geeks, nerds, and n'erdowells, seemingly striving to become calm, cool, and collected. Some of his protagonists haplessly go without the fate of the startled? while others fancy a social climb! In contemporary China’s topsyturvy world of instant billionaires, displaced peasants, newlyminted capitalists, sorry slums by luxury condos, and bureaucrats puzzled by the mixed signals of free markets with the old, topdown communist order, it’s no wonder that one of China’s most successful contemporary artists should take on such themes even if they are ‘masked over’ by his sheer love of ‘cute’ animals and the glorious life of children. (It should be noted that Wang is, indeed, and animalrights activist in China an oxymoron, in itself?) Finally, from a recent generation so saturated by animated, popular media and an exploding global art market it’s again no surprise that Wang tackles mixing fineart technique and thematic gravitas with pop characters and ingenuous “cartooning.” SELECTED MUSEUMS & EXHIBITIONS

Dog Years - Brightly Colored Self Portrait of Artist as a Yellow Colored Dog
By Marcos Raya
Located in Chicago, IL
Raya, like every productive artist, is a collection of actions, utopias and talents. He is an acrylic painter and a muralist; an installation artist and a practitioner of the theory of the fragment as a synthesis of the whole; he is Chicano but his work has no passport; he is an obsessive self-portraitist (I, as the multiplicity locked within the I) and his an advocate of his community (in the fullest sense of the world); his is from Chicago and - being a nation onto himself - is a native of his art education; his yearns for the Tijuana of tomorrow while being a full-fledged inhabitant of the Tijuana of half a century back; he admires high-tech while being a fan of Frida Kahlo. --Carlos Monsivais...
