Xuetong Wang

Malaysia

2023 Summer


Malaysia Travel Book is a visual journey of Malaysia as seen through the traveler’s eyes of Xuetong. Each piece was created during a week-long trip around Malaysia in May 2023. A sketch book was carried everywhere with Xuetong, an invaluable tool as she worked quickly to capture the rapidly changing scene. From night markets to music festivals, from marine life to jungle animals. I drew in the local restaurants, on the balcony of the water chalet, and more often on the streets. These scenes have a relaxed and lively atmosphere with loose lines and colors, yet convey the immediacy of Xuetong’s impressions and feelings.
《马来西亚旅行书》是一段通过艺术家王雪曈的双眼展开的视觉旅程。作品创作于2023年5月,为期一周的马来西亚之行中。她随身携带速写本,在迅速变换的场景中快速记录下眼前所见,从夜市到音乐节,从海洋生物到雨林动物;在当地小餐馆里画,在水上屋的阳台上画,更多时候是在街头即兴创作。画面色彩与线条松弛自由,氛围轻松热烈,传达出雪曈当下的直觉与情绪,那种“我就在这里”的真实感。
