Painter Xiyao Wang Opens Up About Finding Her Way and Following Her Vision
Next week, the artist Xiyao Wang opens a major solo exhibition at MASSIMODECARLO’s flagship space in Milan, offering new paintings inspired by abstraction like that seen in Cy Twombly’s work and by Wang hometown surrounded by mountains on the Yangtze River. Wang (b. 1992) offers works that focus on movement and feel like whole meals despite their large white spaces. There’s something of calligraphy about them, too, which brings a human element back to the grand stories they seem to be telling. We caught up with the artist to hear about her new works and the process by which they were made.

The works in my show represent the different series I created in 2023 and 2024. There are three overlapping series of work in this show that correspond to different life experiences. My art always grows and develops organically, and there are no hard boundaries between the series.
The earliest painting, Zhuangzi Dreaming of Becoming a Butterfly No.3, was completed........
