Artistic Style of his <Youth-Water> Series
Wang’s unique personal style is beginning to emerge in his
works: maturing children’s physiques with blurred facial
figures, often against a soft and slightly melancholy
background as his symbolic expression and visual symbol.
Here in this series, the artist chooses not to tell exciting
stories or ideas, nor does he resort to literature-style
rhetoric. Center at stage are youths in bare bodies, lying, or
sitting on slopes, or standing in shallow water, searching,
listening, or simply identifying. The naturalistic care-free
state of being appeals to the spectator’s heart and tends to
make the beholder oblivious of the mundane world’s daily
affairs. This kind of ease and relaxing setting stands not only
for a pleasant soul, but more for a liberated state of being,
which can represent a wishful thinking for life and
meanwhile as an understated language for experiencing

《少年——水》系列作品艺术风格
汪港清作品个性化的风格已初见端倪，模糊的隐去了五官特征的大孩子人体、婉约、孤寂略带一丝苍凉之意的场景已成了作者进行象征性表达的视觉语符。在这里，作者并没有讲述那些令人激动的故事或者理念，亦没有提供文学上的修辞。有的只是一些赤裸的少年人体。他们或卧，或坐于坡上、或立于水中，在寻觅，在聆听，在辨别，那种自在与自然，闲适与安然，真是令观者心驰神往，宠辱皆忘。悠闲安谥的场景不仅展示出一种愉快的精神，更重要的是呈现出了一种十分自由的生命状态。这既是对生活的一种幻想，又是对生存体验的一种隐性表达，
