A “Limited Time Offer” refers to a special set of items available for a defined short period of time only.
From this fleeting concept, artist & illustrator Ruohan Wang developed her second solo-exhibition for Migrant Bird Space Berlin.
Presenting her daily reflections over the course of the past year, her paintings, prints and digital works relate to a temporary sense of losing control over real life and Ruohan’s
personal phantasms as an artist.
Flashy colours & bizarre cartoonish characters in absurd environments convey a humour and playfulness that belie her work’s underlying conceptual bias. Ruohan’s oftentimes gloomy, dystopian vision translates aspects of Surrealism, Dada, even Art Brut, into a contemporary anarchic visual language.
Her signature style is based in a clean, straight-forward RGB scheme solely, unfolding its full potential in blazing large-scale images and funky GIFs. As Ruohan continues to receive broad international acclaim, we are honoured to present her newest work in a loud, eye-watering display.
Ruohan Wang 王若晗, Chinese illustrator, painter & visual artist based in Berlin since 2012.
In 2016, Ruohan graduated from the Berlin University of Arts (UDK), as part of the master-class of Prof. Henning Wagenbreth with a focus on “Interactive experiment between motion art and sound”. Between 2013 and 2017, she created various illustration- and visual motion-projects for clients and spaces such as: Confucius Institute Leipzig, Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin, CeeCee Berlin, Marni Fashion Week SS2017, Bauhaus University Weimar, Chinese 24 solar festivals, Walls festival Jerusalem 2018, Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
In 2013, she founded “Studio R3”, an artist collaborative combining illustration and experimental media. Her illustrations and motion artworks were featured by AIGA, “It’s nice that” and booooooom, amongst others.
MIGRANT BIRD SPACE is a contemporary art project based in Berlin and Beijing, providing a showcase for artists and services in the cultural industries. Working out of the gallery space at No.5 Koppenplatz in the heart of Berlin, the project aims to offer a professional platform for cross-cultural com-munication between China and Europe with a focus on young contemporary Chinese art.
