王懷慶 WANG HUAIQING (b.1944)

Wang Huai Qing was born in Beijing, China. He received his BFA in 1969 from Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in Beijing. In early 1970s, Wang studied with Wu Guanzhong and Yuna Yunfu. During the Cultural Revolution he was sent to the countryside and did not return to the academy until 1979 when he enrolled in the MFA program at his Alma Mater. After graduating in 1981, Wang traveled to the United States as a visiting scholar from 1987 to 1988. Unlike many of his contemporaries who embraced abstraction, Wang began painting Ming Dynasty furniture in a minimalist style during the 1980s. His first solo exhibition was held in Taipei Lin and Keng Gallery in 1999. Important exhibitions include: Beijing (1993); “China 5000 Years” (1998, Guggenheim Museum, New York and Bilbao), “Shanghai Biennale” (2000); “Beijing International Art Biennale” (2003), “One to All: The Art of Wang Huai Qing” (2012, Taipei Fine Arts Museum); “Out of the Mountains: Retrospetive” (2015, Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, Kobe, Japan); “Wandering-Group Show” (2018, Taipei, A+Creation Gallery).
