The embedded brass forms in the base function like tattoos, connecting local history and collective memory. It stands there as a symbol of responsibility and the act of standing upright.

In her essay, writer and art curator Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy @angelik.wiki writes of Lin Wang’s practice: “Wang likens her role as an artist to that of adventurers of the Age of Exploration as she navigates contemporary sociopolitical landscapes through visceral engagement. Her sense of belonging is an ebb and flow of the beautiful and the grotesque, dreams and nightmares. True Romance is a journey through the fluidity of perspective as shaped by geographical distance, life experience, and cultural differences.” Portrait of the artist, whose solo exhibition “True Romance” remains on view through October 25. 📸: @joeinstakramm

✨ Honored to share that my solo exhibition “True Romance” opens on September 5th, 2025 at HB381 Gallery, New York (381 Broadway, NY). Deep gratitude to @hb381gallery @hostlerburrows for their support, and to everyone who has believed in and supported me along this journey. 💙 Presented with the support of the Norwegian Consulate, New York @norwaynewyork @norwegiancrafts @utenriksdept @oca_norway 📸 Artwork photography: @joeinstakramm

Tonight! Please join us for a reception with the artist from 6-8 pm. HB381 is pleased to present “True Romance,” a solo exhibition by Oslo-based ceramicist Lin Wang (b. 1985, China). Wang is especially known for her production of large-scale still life installations and sculptural assemblages which investigate the corporeality and historic resonance of porcelain. Over centuries, porcelain’s combination of a kaolin-rich white clay body with deep cobalt glazes has registered the ongoing effects of contact and trade, as well as the phantasmic projections of a long-standing dialog between East and West. Working between China and Norway, Wang’s interest in this interchange holds personal significance, tinged by her own wanderlust, homesickness, and experiences of cultural discovery. @linwang66 With the support of @norwaynewyork @norwegiancrafts @oca_norway @utenriksdept

Lin Wang (f. 1985, CN) er en av ni samtidskunstnere som deltar i Kraftoverføring. Sidefortellinger i norsk keramikk 1895–2025. Utstillingen markerer Senter for keramisk kunst sitt 5-årsjubileum og løfter fram stemmer, praksiser og fortellinger som lenge har ligget i skyggen. Historiens foregangskvinner og menn settes her i dialog med de ni samtidskunstnerne. Wang er kjent for å uttrykke seg gjennom komplekse porselensinstallasjoner, ofte i stor skala der ulike medier som mat, tatovering, video og performance inngår. «Eksotiske drømmer og poetiske misforståelser» er et flerårig undersøkende prosjekt som er vist i en serie utstillinger siden 2016. Wang er etablert med verksted i Oslo, men hennes produksjonssted er vekselsvis Oslo og Jingdezhen, Kina. Hun har en BFA i skulptur fra China Academy of Art og en MFA i kunst fra KMD, Universitetet i Bergen. SKK er støttet av: @kulturradet / Norsk kulturfond, @nk.oslo , @innlandetfylke , @ringebukommune , Midt-Gudbrandsdal interkommunale politiske råd @ntl.bufdirbufetat og @sparebankstiftelsendnb 📸 @aliona_paz /Thomas Tveter/SKK

🎨✨ Kunst, porselen og byens skjulte poesi ✨🎨 Bak en port i den gamle Veterinærhøgskolen i Oslo har et tidligere stallbygg blitt forvandlet til et kreativt verksted. Her jobber Lin Wang med å skape unike kunstverk i porselen – et materiale som bærer på historier om migrasjon, kolonihistorie og kulturutveksling. Fra store installasjoner til interaktive performancer der mat og servise blir en del av fortellingen, er kunsten en måte å utforske både samfunnet og seg selv på. "Kunsten har alltid eksistert, selv om den kan virke ‘unyttig’. Den lever fordi den uttrykker noe dypt menneskelig – noe vi ikke kan si med ord." Oslo spiller en viktig rolle i inspirasjonen – spesielt en enkel, nesten umerkelig fontene foran Nasjonalbiblioteket på Solli plass. Hver gang trikken passerer og etterlater seg vannspor som sakte fordamper, oppstår en slags urban poesi. Neste stopp for Lin Wang? En soloutstilling i New York denne høsten! 💡 Hun har et råd til unge kunstnere: "Et rent hjerte og sofistikert håndverk." Hva betyr kunst for deg? Har du et favorittsted i Oslo som inspirerer deg?
