Up to now, drawings serve artists as the most effective medium to reflect their ideas.
In the works of Wanda Stang, hand drawing particuraly

functions as an important medium, used to capture her thoughts and visions.
The experimental character of drawing allows her to diversify
between different levels of sensation, exploration and invention.

Since 2010, Wanda Stang has created works which are inspired by the literary classic
“Around the World in 80 Days” by Jules Verne, forming

the core of her multilayered oeuvre of drawings, performances, objects and installations.
Verne’s belief in progress, his visionary ideas

and the essence of Romanticism have exerted a strong impression on the artist.
This series of artworks is primarily based on illustration

and an artistic examination influenced by nature. Through her original style of working,
Stang succeeds in build a connection with almost all cultures of the world.

Besides her surreal paintings, which are shaped by her encounters with young cosmopolitan
people from the four corners of the globe, her

Gesamtkunstwerk called “Wanderlust” represents a new approach.
Her works, as well as being created on paper or canvas, are now

being developed into three-dimensional paper works in-situ.
The fusion of dreams with reality allows for the possibility for surreal space to
become ambiguous and unique. While Stang develops an imaginative world
based on the descriptions of journeys by people whom she
met personally, she also uses handmade clothing to stimulate a new patterns of thinking and design.

Visitors to the exhibition will be
part of her site-specific installation.

On one hand they can wander through the thoughts and experiences of the artist and her protagonists,
and on the other hand, with the aerodynamic object called “Skyward Balloon”, they also can find their associations with which they canrelate to this created piece.

Wanda Stang is currently a
Meisterschüler of Prof. Tristan Pranyko at the University of Art Berlin-Weißensee, where she graduated from
classes of painting, textiles and surface design. Before that she completed her studies in Painting
and Pedagogy for Waldorf schools as

well as the studies of Fine Arts in Baden Württemberg. From 2006 to 2007 she was involved

McQueen. Back in Berlin, she participated in solo and group exhibitions and now dedicates
