Wang Du (1956) Wang is a contemporary Chinese artist who fo- cuses on three- dimensional painted objects. Traditionally trained in Guangzhou, he now li- ves and has his studio in Paris. His works show strong influences of contemporary Western art and culture, and represent his own notions of modernity and development, and his personal relationship with both China and the West. His latest works have turned to large-scale sculp- tures representing crumpled up newspaper, either en masse in trash cans, buildings or other repositories, or individually, in giant exploded ver- sions of ordinary, everyday trash.
