Wang Suo Yuan
Wang Suo Yuan er utdannet ved School of Fine Arts of Versailles i Frankrike.
Som ung ble Wang Suo Yuan inspirert av sin far til å begynne med fotografi. På 90-tallet studerte han diamantinnfatning (for smykker) og jobbet som lærlig ved Shanghai Diamond Factory, før han ble engasjert i reklamedesign. Han mottok et diplom i Decorative art design ved selvstudier, og i 2002 flyttet han til Frankrike for å begynne kunstutdannelse ved School of Fine Arts of Versailles. Etter uteksamineringen i 2005 lærte han Hayter-metoden og gravering ved Atelier Centrepoint (tidligere Atelier 17 ved Stanley William Hayter) for å utvide sin kunnskap om grafikk og eksperimentere videre. Siden 2006 har han eksperimentert med variasjoner av linjer i forskjellige medium som maleri, tegning, gravering, for å prøve og kombinere forskjellige konsepter og materialer fra østlig og vestlig kultur med mål om å finne et personlig kunstnerisk uttrykk. Hans arbeid har vært utstilt over store deler av verden, blant annet i Frankrike, Kina, Spania, Japan, Belgia, Sør-Korea, Romania og Canada.
