Andrew Wang is a Toronto based mixed-media artist. He has a non-traditional background, coming from two decades in engineering and business. He left this career in 2017 to pursue art and has developed into a professional artist showing in galleries, art fairs and public art installations.
Andrew uses meticulously folded origami objects to create large scale assemblages. He tells stories of individual journeys and migrations of previous generations. With his unique background, he draws on science and mathematics for his compositions and metaphors. Fluid dynamics, planetary motion and weather patterns are often seen in his work.
His Migration Series works are generally colourful abstracts but Andrew has recently put his medium to the test by creating large portraits made entirely of origami cranes. His subject, Chinese icons in North American pop-culture.
While only produced a handful of these portraits have be created, they have been making a mark in the art world. His portrait of Simu Liu won the People’s Choice award from the Canadian Portrait Society and was exhibited by Holt Renfrew for Asian Heritage Month – Portrait of the Asian Pop Icon. And his iconic portrait of Bruce Lee – “Be Like Water” was a finalist in Canada’s biggest art competition, 100 Kellogg Lane’s ART COMP.
