This exhibition explored the art of Chinese painter Wang Ming through 35 works that are part of the artist’s personal collection. Since leaving China in 1951, Wang Ming, a former air traffic controller and art framer, has strived to make art that builds a bridge of understanding between people of all nationalities and cultures. Like the abstract expressionists, Ming explored the use of untraditional materials, such as acrylic paints and Pellon (fabric interfacing) in his art, and he exhibited with such Washington Color School luminaries as Kenneth Noland and Gene Davis in the 1960s, but his work is rooted in traditional Chinese forms and calligraphy.
