Freya Fang Wang

Born 1997 in Beijing, China

Lives and works in London, UK

Freya Fang Wang completed an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, following a BA in Mural Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. Her practice is deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy and culture. Her immersive and dynamic paintings explore the Tao – a cosmic force which is believed to flow through all things and binds them as one together. A belief in our connectedness with the natural world is at the centre of Freya’s practice and inspires her large-scale meditative works, which speak to contemporary philosophical concerns around the climate and spirituality. Freya was selected as a runner up in the STUDIO WEST ‘NOW Introducing’ Open Call and was long-listed for the VAO Emerging Artist Prize. In 2025, Fong was an artist-in-residence at the Good Eye Project in London, UK.
