Wang Yuecen (born 1997) is a Chinese artist based in London. She received her bachelor's degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her master's degree from the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London. Her childhood experience of living in different cities has sparked a deep interest in the pluralistic forms of the world's structure, which serves as a constant source of inspiration in her practice.

 

Using painting as her primary medium, Wang employs a fluid visual language to explore relative relationships such as individual and group, self and society. She blurs the boundaries between reality and virtuality, chaos and order, aiming to create a compatible field of visual appeal and spiritual resonance in her works—an arena for cyclic dialogue between the self and the external world.

​

The subjects in her works often appear in unrecognizable forms, frequently as mere clumps of color. Wang believes that it is only when things reach the limits of comprehension that we can understand situations in a non-ontological way. This idea aligns with the Tao Te Ching's exploration of transcending subjectification and objectification, which seeks to eliminate these oppositions by minimizing both, thus opening a path through language. In her art, a non-similar representational quality recurs, serving as an artistic articulation of this philosophy—breaking conventional cognition through unique painterly language and inviting viewers to perceive and reflect on the works from a fresh perspective.
