WANG Chen incorporates drawing, animation, sculpture, costumed performance, fabrication, sound engineering, and 3D game design. By layering these different mediums into a digital landscape, they use satire, fiction, and exaggeration to create all-consuming dreamscapes. Incorporating physical and digital processes within their work, they are interested in the fluid boundaries between reality/imagination and the intersection of identity, media, and digital technology that redefines how we perceive and navigate the concepts of belonging and space.

WANG Chen (b.1991) received a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University (2014) and an MFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology (2018). WANG has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Fotografiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, Roswell Museum, New Mexico, Lauren Powell Project, Los Angeles, The Immigrant Artist Biennial, NYC, Alfred University, and Crosstown Art Center in Memphis.

WANG’s fellowships, awards, and residencies include New York Foundation for the Arts Artist Fellow (Interdisciplinary), MacDowell Fellowship, Vermont Studio Center, NARS Artist Foundation in Brooklyn, and Roswell Artist in Residency.
