Ideas for exhibition layout
Thinking about potential layouts of my work in an exhibition setting… I think the most appropriate space for display would be a wall, white in colour so as not to conflict with any of the colours in the imagery (as some versions contain a lot of intense colour that could easily interfere with surrounding colours).Continue reading “Ideas for exhibition layout”
Potential applications for work…
I have been considering the potential applications for my recent piece “utopia/overgrown”, exploring the relationship between man and nature, and the current connotations that holds in a Covid 19 world.

Artist research: RLoN Wang
China based artist and illustrator creating intricate illustrations vibrant with colour and life; focusing on motifs from nature. Highly influenced by East Asian folklore and art- such as elaborately curled clouds, giant carp and Chinese garden lions…. Wang’s style is also reminiscent of Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. I adore this artists work. Recently I haveContinue reading “Artist research: RLoN Wang”
