Jian Wang does not seek to capture a specific location but rather the light and color harmonies of the region. Using a quasi-abstract approach, and in often isolated form, the tree lines, rivers, and fields are represented more as shapes of mother nature rather than detailed elements within the landscape. A student of Wayne Thiebaud, and a confident colorist, Wang experiments with a variety of styles that show influence by such masters as Monet, Bonnard, Soutine, and Fairfield Porter. Using heavy paint and broad, colorful brushstrokes, Wang has defined a contemporary style that is clearly his own.
