Xue Wang: "Feeding Time" Canvas Print 61x46cm / 24x18"

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.”
