Ruohan Wang is an illustrator, painter & visual artist based in Berlin Germany. Ruohan’s paintings, prints and digital works relate to a temporary sense of losing control over real life and Ruohan’s personal phantasms as an artist. Flashy colours & bizarre cartoonish characters in absurd environments convey a humour and playfulness that belie her work’s underlying conceptual bias. Ruohan’s oftentimes gloomy, dystopian vision translates aspects of Surrealism, Dada, even Art Brut, into a contemporary anarchic visual language. Her signature style is based in a clean, straight-forward RGB scheme solely, unfolding its full potential in blazing large-scale images and funky GIFs
In 2016, Ruohan graduated from the Berlin University of Arts (UDK), as part of the master-class of Prof. Henning Wagenbreth with a focus on "Interactive experiment between motion art and sound". Between 2013 and 2017, she created various illustration- and visual motion-projects for clients and spaces such as: Confucius Institute Leipzig, Humboldt Universitaet zu Berlin, Marni Fashion Week SS2017, Bauhaus University Weimar, Chinese 24 solar festivals, Walls festival Jerusalem 2018, Farfetch, Federal Ministry of Labour Social Affairs, The New York Times. In 2013, she founded "Studio R3”, an artist collaborative combining illustration and experimental media.
