Yaqi Wang

About

I am a London-based artist currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Print at the Royal College of Art.

My undergraduate and graduate education has deeply influenced me through poetry, novels, science fiction, and fantasy literature, sparking my interest in the study of words and language. Notably, I co-translated Water Sleeps by Glen Cook, the eighth book in The Black Company series, which was published in China in 2024. Between 2019 and 2021, my work in real estate marketing ignited a strong interest in architecture and spatial design, prompting me to focus my artistic practice on exploring the boundaries between personal identity and the external environment.

My work incorporates a variety of media, including painting, printmaking, installations, and performance art. My creative style intertwines elements of mechanics, architecture, nature, and symbols, aiming to capture the relationships between identity and consciousness, the body and space, as well as the limitations and influence of language.
