Lin Wang: True Romance is a catalogue published by Hostler Burrows on the occasion of the artist’s exhibition at HB381.
Oslo-based ceramicist Lin Wang (Chinese, b. 1985) produces large-scale still life installations and sculptural assemblages which investigate the corporeality and historic resonance of porcelain. Over centuries, porcelain’s combination of a kaolin-rich white clay body with deep cobalt glazes has registered the ongoing effects of contact and trade, as well as the phantasmic projections of a long-standing dialog between East and West. As an artist working between China and Norway, Wang’s interest in this interchange holds personal significance, tinged by her own wanderlust, homesickness, and experiences of cultural discovery.
