Under the influence of his parents, who have been in the art creation
business as wood crafters, he is artistically inspired since childhood.
After his graduation from Meizhouwang Art School in Fujian, he proceeds
to understudy with some of the teachers of Artistic College in China.
In 2001, he began his new chapter in life as a full-time artist focusing
on his own creation and opened his art studio. In 2006, he participated
in an art exchange trip with 12 well-known senior artists to Guangxi,
Wuzhou. The trip has enhanced his career with one of his creations named
"Golden Wilderness" being collected by a famous art collector
from Taiwan. Since then, his artwork has been collected by many art lovers
around the world. Currently, he is re-located in Beijing to continue pursue
his passion in art.
The Inspiration of "CASTLE IN THE SKY"
Children are most lovable. They are innocent, naive and ignorant. They
are often the source of inspiration for an artist who is looking for subject
that can arouse familiar correlation. While common, Wang Zhixin has successfully
explored the innermost fantasy of a child with his unique creation of
"Child Fairies". The subject is set with the background of lotus
seeds and lotus pods nestling to form the various structures in the vast
free sky of floating clouds. The combination of these elements is not
only soothing in form and color, it has presented the essence of the culture
from where the artist comes from. In the Chinese tradition, Lotus seeds
symbolize continuity of generation. These lotus seeds, together with the
traditionally dressed kids studying and playing, emphasize the passion
of life. While the landscape is unbound and full of uncertainty, lotus
pods symbolize the comfort of the motherland which constantly provides
shelter and protection to these "Child Fairies". As a result,
Wang Zhixin creates a "Castle in the Sky" that is heartwarming
and captivating at the same time. This collection of newly created "Child
Fairies" series, being the come-back requested by his fans after
his earlier sold-out 1st solo exhibition in Singapore, will present more
dramatically painted expression filled faces and lively vivid movements.
Undoubtedly, his artworks will continue to put a smile on your face and
even in your heart bringing back one's lost memory of a carefree childhood.
