BIO
b. 1992 in New York, lives and works in New York.
A multidisciplinary artist, Kelly Wang investigates the tension between unconventional industrial and pre-modern materials through collage, mixed media, painting, sculpture, found objects, and installation. Her work explores the concept of liminality and its potential to transcend categorization. It probes the emotional, psychological and physical dimensions of lived experience to evaluate the nuanced relationship between humanity, nature, technology, civilization, and primordial chaos.
Five of her works were acquired by Princeton University Art Museum, where she had a solo exhibition entitled "Between Heartlands: Kelly Wang" at Princeton's gallery project space, Art@Bainbridge, in 2022. She has exhibited at the Asia Society Houston in 2023 and China Institute NY in 2024. Her work has also been collected by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Harvard University Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, Asian Art Museum San Francisco, Smith College Museum of Art, and Washington & Lee University Art Museum.
