A nude figure stands in a room, with dark, wet footprints leading away from them across a white sheet on the floor. The figure appears to be covered in a dark substance. Wang Peng (born 1964, Jinan) graduated from the Mural Department of the Central Academy of Fine Art in 1988. He is known for his experimental artistic practice that encompasses installation, performance, video, and new media art. His personal experience is often the starting point for his creative process. He lives and works in New York and Beijing.
