Abstract
It’s the art of elevating the ordinary: a sea of colourful hats, an empty bridge in a mountain landscape, a crowd of executives in dark suits. In the images of Yishu Wang, everyday objects and settings hint at a separate world. Figures are often photographed from the back, their faces obscured or perhaps shown in a mirror. Images are seemingly random and evoke different moods, from a man holding a goose on a city street to a flurry of snowflakes viewed through a window at night.
