Wang Xiaoqu (b. 1987) graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with MA in 2014. She currently lives and works in Beijing, China. Wang records a chronicle of daily events and images on the canvases by using humorous narratives and exaggerated effects. Her paintings are influenced by the aesthetics of comics, however the pictorial senses of material and authenticity are enhanced through the techniques of brushstroke and chiaroscuro, making the pictures linger between the fiction and the simulation.
