Wilfred Lang

Born in Shanghai in 1954, Wilfred Lang began his career as an artist at the tender age of 7. From 1972 to 1976 he studied at the Fine Art College in Shanghai, reaping great success during his academic years. In 1977, following his graduation, he moved to Hawaii and continued to pursue his career in America and in Europe; in the meantime, the great demand for his artworks continued to grow. His unique and easily recognisable style bears witness to his wise use of colour mixing techniques, which often rely on a combination of elements taken from Oriental and Western culture. Wilfred Lang has held exhibitions at prestigious contemporary art galleries in New York, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Hawaii, and in many European capital cities; furthermore, he takes part in the most important international contemporary art fairs in Europe and Great Britain every year. His paintings offer overwhelming renderings of the urban scenery of modern metropoles, whilst gently encouraging viewers to lose themselves in deep, three-dimensional contemplation. Lang, thanks to his ever-growing number of features in specialised magazines, has most certainly caught the attention of many collectors.
