Zan Wang
Visual Artist

Zan Wang (b. 1997) is a professional artist and researcher based in London, UK. Currently, she is a PhD researcher in contemporary art and philosophy at Lancaster University. She completed her BFA at the School of Visual Arts in 2019 and her MFA in Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2021. Zan's practice explores trace, and ephemerality, and the demarcation and erasure of borders within landscape paintings. Utilising mixed media materials and cyanotype overlay painting, she investigates the multiplicity of awareness and internalised landscapes. Her work features motifs such as relics, stages, and windows, which act as boundaries and portals, offering a multi-layered exploration of space, time, and transformation. Over the past five years, Zan has exhibited in London, Lancaster, and Sheffield in the UK, as well as in New York and Baltimore in the US.
