Diane Warner Wang
Artist Statement
What interests me is the moment. How each restless moment holds an entire world in its light before growing bored and drifting toward something new. What interests me is capturing that moment - the way light falls on the planes of the model’s form in the studio or how its cast shadows play across the Northern California landscape. And each moment calls for something different: canvas and oils, pen and ink, charcoal and paper. My work tells the story about a single moment. But the story told is different for each person’s unique and singular experience.
Diane Warner-Wang’s paintings can be found in collections across the United States and in Europe. Her work has received numerous awards in exhibits at the Pacific Art League of Palo Alto, NUMU of Los Gatos’ Greater Bay Area Open, the Sebastopol Center for the Arts and The Salon at Triton Museum in Santa Clara, California. She is regularly juried into exhibits with Artist Alliance, art-fluent, the California Art Club (CAC), SFVACC/SCORE in Los Angeles and the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley, California. She is currently represented by Pamela Walsh Gallery in Palo Alto, California. She has worked with and been inspired by instructors, Brigitte Curt, Jim Smyth, Ray Mendieta and Ovanes Berberian, Oliver Sin and Melinda Cootsona.
