文那,艺术家,出生于北京,毕业于清华美院版画系本科。她曾在北京青年报社担任插图编辑,并创作大量小说、童话插图和舞台剧海报。其创作以壁画为主,借用中国绘画中的神仙造型,虚构出各种新的神仙。她作品中的形象并非复制已有的传统符号,而是将壁画所在地的用途、历史、空间,与强大想像力的相结合。文那曾受邀创作于多个国家的文化机构,包括法国里昂当代艺术博物馆(2016)、法国里昂UGC电影院(2016)、意大利阿拉香文化艺术中心(2011)、中国景德镇三宝国际陶艺村(2010-2016)等。 

 

Wen Na, a Beijing-born artist, earned her undergraduate degree in print from the Printmaking Department of the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University. She worked as an illustrator and editor for Beijing Youth Daily and created a large number of illustrations for novels and fairy tales as well as stage show posters. Her creation is dominated by mural paintings, and she imagines various new deities by borrowing ideas from the figures of Gods in Chinese paintings. She never copies the existing traditional symbols to create images in her works; instead, she mixes the function, history, and space of the place where the mural paintings are located with wild imaginations. Wen Na has been invited to produce works for cultural institutions across many countries, including the Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon in France in 2016, the UGC Ciné Cité in France in 2016, the Alassio Culture and Art Center in Italy 2011, and the Sanbao International Ceramics Art Village in Jingdezhen, China from 2010 to 2016.
