Xue Wang: "Eavesdropping" Canvas-Druck 41x30cm / 16x12"

As queen of the kooky and macabre, Xue Wang is known for her fairy tale paintings. The former fashionista fuses supernatural themes and a sugar-sweet colour palette to create lowbrow pop surrealist pieces.

With inspirations ranging from Victoriana to dolls and fun­fairs, she applies just as much wry humour as paint. For each character, Xue sketches out the faces before adding makeup, hair­styles, clothes and accessories. She uses oils on board and paints at home. Each painting takes between 80 and 120 hours to complete. Xue - who originally hails from China - uses multiple layers of glaze.

Xue says: “I love vintage pin-up imagery, film noir and silent films. We cannot escape the past and our sweet yester­days, whether imaginary or real. They are my repository.”
