About the Artist
Wang Mansheng (born 1962, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China) is a New York–based artist whose work merges traditional Chinese painting with contemporary art. He often crafts his own tools and materials—including reed brushes and ink made from black walnuts—to add texture and depth to his pieces. His artistry is showcased throughout The Huntington’s Chinese Garden. He created the designs for the two carved pictorial tiles on either side of the entrance to the Studio for Lodging the Mind. On a nearby rock, a striking blue inscription that reads “Garden of the Arts” (藝苑 Yi Yuan) highlights his distinctive calligraphy.
This exhibition is generously supported by the Cheng Family Foundation and June and Simon K.C. Li.
