Wen/Yang Xi

The exhibition follows the theme of "Jungle Collection" and presents a textual arrangement of Wang Bo's works. 'Jungle' means a complex scene of meaning, and Wang Bo's way of working with images has become a guide through this' jungle of meaning '. The exhibition also echoes the various questions in Syrian poet Adonis' poem "A Guide to a Journey in the Jungle of Meaning". The meaning of the essence of existence allows Wang Bo to detach and transform all external things into his imagined "tokens" of the world (the "Token" series), guiding viewers to experience the emotional resonance brought by a picture within the emotional tone constructed by him.

Wang Bo's control over his creations tends towards a "design" like control, where form and rhythm are obscured by vibrant colors. Therefore, the meticulous layout entrusts the image to color, and the path leading to the viewer's inner world is always quietly hidden in the layers. Even if the content of some books (the "One Book" series) is forcibly modified, it still has a strong vitality. That anger is like the ever-changing clouds and mountains, surpassing all the constraints brought by design. Allowing viewers to naturally step into a forest that is both real and illusory, becoming a carrier for absorbing colors. But it has always been unable to capture the description and perspective of specific images in the work. Perhaps the end and beginning of the 'jungle', as well as the accumulated sense of time and space, are the viewing clues for this series of works. We attempt to follow the rhythm created by Wang Bo's exhibition, abandoning unnecessary images and wandering through an ideal space full of interest.

The exhibition takes the "Into Woods" as the clue to expand the textual arrangement of Wang Bo's works."Into Woods" means a complex meaning scene, and Wang Bo works with images as a guide through this "meaning jungle". Exhibition also just echoed the Syrian poet Adonis poetry in The jungle travel guide, the meaning of survival essence let wang bo will external everything and transformation, become his imagination of the world "token" (Token), guide the viewer in the construction of the emotional tone to experience a resonance brought by the emotional picture.

Wang Bo's control of his creation favors a "design" (Design) -like control, and the body and rhythm are covered by the gorgeous colors. Therefore, the careful layout entrusts the picture to the color, and the path to the heart of the viewer is always quietly hidden in the layer, even if the mandatory change of some books (The Book), but still has a strong anger. That anger is like the changing clouds, beyond all the "design" brought by the constraint. Let the viewer naturally can step into a real and unreal jungle, become the carrier of absorbing color. However, it is always unable to capture the description and view of the specific images in the work. Perhaps, the end and start of the "jungle" and the accumulated sense of time and space are the viewing clues of his series of works. We try to follow the rhythm created by Wang Bo's exhibition, abandon the redundant image, and walk through an ideal space full of interest.
