王迈
简介Biography
王迈（1972年出生于黑龙江伊春），现工作于北京。他曾居住于北京圆明园、通县及798艺术区，这些不同艺术与文化集中地的经历促使他的作品呈现不同阶段的特色。作为一名经历丰富的艺术家，王迈喜欢追究“发生在生活中的秘密”，对“不可理喻的事物”充满热情，其作品自有一种内在逻辑。从圆明园的乌托邦、通县的精神生活到798的机缘，他不断思考在社会背景和人文精神之间进行观念性开拓的可能性。王迈被广泛认为是最具综合才华的艺术家之一，自上世纪90年代初开始建立整体艺术的创作构架，从绘画、诗歌到行为表演及装置雕塑，他将各门类艺术融会贯通，思想维度立足于国际视野，跨媒介表现语言则根植于深厚的传统文脉。他的独特艺术经历使其占据中国当代艺术史中承上启下的位置，从1999年的多媒体行为表演作品《戏仿春节联欢会》到预言全球能源冲突的“石油怪兽”装置，其跨媒介作品对同时代艺术家产生了深远影响。2002年，王迈获得美国亚洲文化委员会ACC颁发的当代艺术奖。重要展览包括：2008年阿拉里奥首尔个展、2006年阿拉里奥北京个展、2005年北京现在画廊“未来佛”个展、2004年二万五千里文化传播中心“众妙之门”个展；群展包括2009年“麻将”乌里希克收藏展、2006年釜山双年展、2005年布拉格双年展、2004年“亚洲工厂”及“魔与道”等。
Wang Mai was born in 1972 in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province, China. He now lives and works in Beijing. An indispensable participant in the Yuanmingyuan Artists' Village, since the early 1990s, Wang has been developing his creative structure of interdisciplinary art encompassing painting, sculpture, poetry, installation, performance art, and many other disciplines. Wang's practice is deeply embedded in his keen perception of the "happening" of contemporary life and his profound philosophical thinking. With the method of nearly immediate response, he extracts a variety of iconography and visual patterns from dynamic everyday landscapes, widely distributed mass media, and the ever-changing pop culture, then deftly integrates these elements with a free and coherent creative approach that almost feels like the stream of consciousness, creating works that reflect the façade of contemporary social reality while transcending its representation and addressing the underlying issues. He subtly conceals his contemplation regarding controlling and navigating the power of the virtual world, such as the overlaying relationship between collective consciousness and individual destiny, and the intertwining situation between the power of capital and cultural reality, underneath the surface of the glittering light and palette, capturing the viewer's attention while challenging their capacity of critical reflection. His works have been collected by ACC Asia Society, Library of Congress, M+ Art Museum, Ordos Art Museum, Long March Foundation, Hunan Museum, Hunan Fine Arts Publishing Group, Minsheng Art Museum, Arario Art Museum, Artron Group, Ferragamo Foundation and other important institutions and individuals. 1972 Born in Yichun, Heilongjiang Now lives and works in Beijing, China

Wang Mai (b. 1972) is a highly versatile Chinese contemporary artist whose practice spans oil painting, mixed media, and installation. His representative works encompass a range of recent series, including *Fairy Gives Me Silk No.1* (2024), *Painter and His Discarded Painting No.2* (2023), *Painting Mountain No.7* (2023), *The Crown of the Ingenious Brush No.1* (2024), and more recent 2025 pieces such as *Old Shell Money No.1*, *Hundred Million Shells No.1*, and *Domestic Artist No.1*. Many of these are executed in oil on canvas, often weaving together myth, material culture, and reflections on artistic identity.
His creative style is defined by an intersection of experimental, conceptual, and expressively figurative approaches. Wang engages themes of globalization, emotion, politics, consumerism, social critique, identity, and the body, frequently uncovering the “secrets of life” and the “incomprehensible” through a deeply personal yet logical visual language. Since the early 1990s, he has cultivated a cross-disciplinary “total-art” framework, integrating painting, poetry, performance, and sculpture. Grounded in traditional cultural veins while maintaining an international outlook, his work has left a significant mark on Chinese contemporary art—ranging from the multimedia performance *Parody of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala* (1999) to prescient “Oil Monster” installations. This fusion of intellectual rigor, poetic imagination, and a dreamlike criticality forms the core of Wang Mai’s artistic practice.
