"One is not qualified to talk about life if one hasn't tasted bread with tears in the eyes." The thorough understanding of life comes from hardships and destitution. The way in which Wang cherishes his memories is not dissimilar he cherishes his paintings. He was born a second son of a rich family but he lost his parents at a young age. An orphan struggling in the crevices of a big family, he has nothing to do with the wealth surrounding him and needs to make his own living. Encountering human weakness and difficulties at an early age, he becomes stronger and stronger. He is gifted with an artistic eye and skills. Painting is his sky that he can fly in. Wang firmly holds his brushes and makes his life colorful. He was educated in Shanghai Art Academy and learned his sketches well. His paintings seem always simple, transforming and melancholic. While he has no expectations of wealth on hand, not enough money for tuitions, no way to go back to his hometown, his paintings have become even simpler and more reserved, just like his silence. Not being able to fulfill his dream of studying in France, he came to Taiwan at the age of thirty-eight as the Nationalist party was defeated by the communist. This is another turbulent page on his life. Hardships are inevitable when one confronts the upheavals of an epoch and the social turbulence. He only talks through his paintings, arguing with the Almighty and glancing at the sun.

　　He lives a secluded life in Lan Yang Plains for more than fifty years. His tragedy and his pride both originated from his paintings. When he had his first exhibit in 1966, his 32 watercolor paintings were all bought by foreign collectors. People who really understand his paintings are not restricted by borders. His tragic character is projected into an internalized metaphor, which makes his paintings imbued with a strong sense of the modern. "My way of thinking is ahead of our time for half a century. I have unique acumen for colors." His surrealist composition with minimalist touch in a very idiosyncratic language creates the painting of his own style, the dimensions are vivid and various. Most of all, they are mixed with the Eastern mystic aura, literary mind and Western modern strokes.

　　In Wang's difficult life, he always searches for the perfect. Although the perfect is like the sun, which is unattainable, he is full of energy and impulse. Just like Don Quixote, he bravely embraces his dreams and pursues his task. In recent years, Wang, though in his nineties, takes the challenge of painting the work of no. 100. His touches are delicate and subtle; his colors are radiant and warm. They demonstrate different kind of attractions. After all, good work will not be ignored. He might leave the world behind but the world would not leave him alone. The map of Taiwan art world would not be complete without his existence.
The Artist's Own Words

　　"If you are a painter, you'll be a painter no matter how the world changes." That is what Gustave Moreau told Raoul Dufy. It also reveals what Wang thinks. He believes that life is a temporary sojourn. Everybody is like a passenger in each other's lives. We should not spend much time on trivia. If he has an instant to breathe, he will not hesitate to hold onto his brushes. Paintings are his diary. He keeps his sorrows, his thoughts, his escapes and his pain in his paintings. However, he will not tell his stories directly, all the joys and sadness are hidden in the simple images. In the wild space, you may find his never-ending searches that induce you to look for something meaningful but hard to grasp. Perhaps some people find them obscure, mysterious, or difficult to approach. But he does not care about what people think of him. He has painted what he wants. As his motto goes, "I like to leave more empty space to the paintings. I like to leave more space to what I said. I like to reflect and meditate, not always competing…."
