ROCHESTER - The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts will exhibit works by Shiao-Ping Wang in the historic Carnegie Gallery, at the Rochester Public Library, in October and November.

Shiao-Ping Wang was born in Taiwan and immigrated to the United States in 1981. She studied both Western and Chinese art in New York and earned a MFA degree from Queens College, City University of New York. She works both abstractly and from observation in various painting media.

"Patterns of a constructive nature--architectural graphs, weaving patterns, and city maps--are sources for my composition. Once I have integrated them into my work, I then add more shapes and elements to each painting layer, using acrylic paint and medium, to gradually "build" a cohesive picture that features different degrees of translucency.

In the physical process of painting, I follow more intuition than knowledge. I want to be in a place in my paintings where patterns are urgently needed on the emotional level so that narratives can be translated into repetitions and rhythms. In other words, I search for forms that have the power to replace anecdotes. "

Wang's work has been exhibited throughout the United States and China. She has taught painting and drawing in various colleges including the University of New Hampshire. In 2007 Shiao-Ping won a Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. In 2008 she won the Spotlight Award for Best Painter in the Seacoast.

The exhibition will be on view October 3rd to November 28th, 2015 at 65 South Main Street. Visit www.rochestermfa.org for more information.
