Wang Du, trained as a sculptor in China within an academic tradition, works with images taken from newspapers, magazines and advertisements, and transforms these two dimensional media images into three dimensional painted sculptural works with his own masterly skill. Through the information conveyed by articles on politics, economics, society, sports, leisure and fashion the artist expresses his feelings, often in a pointed, satirical manner, about the ordinary and our social reality.
