Translated Landscape
Solo Exhibition of Juliann Wang

June 20th – July 13th, 2025

Translated Landscape

Oh Art Foundation presents Juliann Wang's solo exhibition, Translated Landscape.

Translated Landscape is created using a unique interpretive method of ink-water color

painting on paper. These works trace influence from Taoist philosophy and spirituality,

seeking to express dialog between perceptions of nature, the origin of life, and balance

of human experience. Exploring perception through the rich cultural inheritance and

artistic expression of the medium, it bridges gestures of bi-cultural expression through

innovative modern artistic interpretation. These segments of time-based work on paper,

made while looking at ancient landscapes, capture a unique relationship with organic

and intentionally delicate materials and processes in relation to today’s fast-paced

manufactured world.

Juliann Wang is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist, working in visual art, sound,

performance, and dance practice. Her work focuses on the capacity to evoke a coherent

vision of communication, harmony, and meditative contemplation. Inspired by the

fundamental rhythms of nature and the beauty of existence as a metaphor to impart

balance, her practice draws on a contemporary approach to meet joy in the

emptiness, evoking meaningful cycles of contemplation and renewal. She has been

actively creating and sharing her practice through exhibition, workshops, community

engagement, lectures, events, etc.

Her visual work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with performance

work presented throughout Chicagoland and beyond. Juliann’s sound projects have been

featured in the “Harris Theater Fest: Music + Dance in the Park” at Millennium Park 2023,

as a performer/presenter for New Music Chicago’s 2023 “Impromptu Fest”. She received

an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, BFA from Lesley University, was

a DCASE IAP Grant award recipient in 2021 + 2022, and recipient of the The Creative

Accelerator Award from the Illinois Arts Council 2025.
