Wang Zhiyi's Art Style

Wang Zhiyi centers on symbolism, delving into the significance of color and graphics in perception. He explores the intricate connections between human psychology and the interplay of image, sound, and text.

He also delves into the synesthetic connections between psychology, metaphors, and their implied meanings. In his role as a curator, he emphasizes individual artists, the challenges they encounter in their realities, and the core motivations that drive their artistic creativity.

“
My own work is relatively composite. Usually, I break myself into modules: the first part is as a creator, my interest is rooted in color psychology and graphic dynamics, the profound influence of which can be seen in many of my works on color conjecture and arrangement; the second part is as an experiencer, my fascination and obsession with natural human content has made me interested in some of the world’s source-born phenomena, such as light, gravity, reflection, refraction, fractal order on veins or shells, the smell we feel.
