Suling Wang grew up in rural Taiwan and in 1993 moved to London to study fine art at Central St. Martins College of Art and Design. She completed her Masters degree in painting from the Royal College of Art in 1999. Wang's art is inspired by Taiwanese oral tradition from her childhood and her exploration of identity within Eastern and Western cultures. Her work is composed of meticulously created layers of painted calligraphy and cartoon-like forms overlaid atop other shapes that suggest trees, sterns, and mountains.
