Evelyn Wang

Evelyn Wang’s sculpture and bas-relief contains a dialogue between the interior/exterior space and the bronze’s undulating surface. Only partially accessible, they radiate uncertainty and volatility. Her figures’ unfinished limbs are elegant despite their rough veneer, and the intimate scale invites viewers to internalize their expressiveness. A parallel series, Story Board, depicts charged images on fragile gold sheets. The subtle texture juxtaposed with the material’s loudness suggests openness of interpretation. A University of Waterloo graduate, Wang has exhibited nationally. She works in New York., from loneliness and contemplation to expectation. Each gesture that Wang puts into her work metaphorically imbues life’s raw material with form. The unfinished limbs of her figures are elegant despite their rough veneer, and the figures’ intimate scale invites viewers to internalize their expressiveness.

Wang uses wax as the conduit for her bronze sculptures, a practice that connects her with art’s long history. A graduate of the University of Waterloo, Wang has exhibited nationally. She works in New York City.
