Ling-Li Wang
/ Taiwan

Ling-Li Wang was born in Taiwan in 1967. She graduated
in 1992 from the Oriental institute of technology, New
Taiwpei City, Taiwan, and went on to specialise in garment
engineering. She calls herself a “non-traditional” artist and
works in the field of illustration and graphic design. She has
won several awards and participated in several exhibitions
around the world. These include the solo exhibition A time of
chaos is already unzipped, at the Sain Gilles gallery, Paris 2018;
the group exhibitions International graphic art festival Uni
Graphica 2019, Krasnodar 2019; Malamegi lab13, Piazza di
Pietra gallery, Rome; Urban noise, Krasnodar 2019.
The works submitted for the Mediterranean contemporary
art prize take the form of the linear, non-perspective stories
without a unifying focal point of Japanese art. They are
populated by simple black strokes produced with simple
means such as ballpoint pens, a contemporary transposition of
Eastern calligraphic purity. Her sceneries are populated with
paradoxical, funny and disturbing beings, which seem to be a
post-human version of Hieronymus Bosch’s sceneries or of the
horrific visions of Austrian Alfred Kubin.
