Silence and silence
Wang Yiyi, born in 1984, has a cross-disciplinary education and life experience in both the East and West. He has obtained bachelor’s and dual master’s degrees successively.
Currently, he is a senior expert in a multinational corporation. The professional books he contributed to have also been widely used.
According to his own account, "In the past nearly two decades, I have given myself and the organization a positive meaning as a social productive force. Naturally and deservedly, I have some experiences and gains, including thoughts." Based on his role as a contemporary artist, his role as a social productive force will not stop for the time being. Besides, there is no conflict between these two roles.
"If we were to compare each artist's artistic behavior or expression to a speech, the speech of Wang Yiyi does not abound in surging passion or display fervent mobilization.
Rather, it is as he himself is - speaking softly, emotionally balanced, deeply contemplative, and amiable. He always takes on the role of someone who listens attentively while narrating eloquently.
His artistic language is so consistently gentle that it can be easily overlooked, yet every retrospection is profound, like a "declaration" with light word but heavy meaning.
It was like a breeze that touched every willow leaf and made it sway along with the branches."

"As an artist,the first thing Wang Yiyi needs to do is to dissociate from his other socialidentities, then reorganize all his social experiences and awareness to createworks with unique connotations. What sets Wang Yiyi apart from many artists isthat he can participate deeply in social production and intense competitionfrom his personal experience and create so-called 'organizational values', which makes his works reach a complex and profound level of reality. His understanding and thinking about society all come from personal experience, not from weak and powerless imagination."
"Wang Yiyi never imposes limits on himself and refuses to label himself as an artist relying on aspecific medium, he can freely create works that stay true to his will andunique language in the vast creative space."

(01)
Dissociation and Reorganization of Social Roles
As an artist, the firstthing Wang Yiyi needs to do is to dissociate from his other social identities,then reorganize all his social experiences and awareness to create works withunique connotations. What sets Wang Yiyi apart from many artists is that he canparticipate deeply in social production and intense competition from hispersonal experience and create so-called “organizational values”, which makeshis works reach a complex and profound level of reality. His understanding andthinking about society all come from personal experience, not from weak andpowerless imagination.
(02)
Internalization and Externalization of the 'Present'
One of Wang Yiyi’s coreartistic views is the “natural internalization and subsequent externalizationof the present”. Even when choosing to immerse himself rather than hide withinthe masses, he has no real intention of altering multiple realities.
(03)
Profound Ambiguity between Human Nature and Materiality
In his pieces, any elementsthat appear related to humans tend not to be the 'protagonists'. The moreclosely associated an object in a work is with humans, the more alienated itsmeaning becomes from people.
(04)
Detachment Toward the Ultimate Destination
Wang Yiyi never imposeslimits on himself and refuses to label himself as an artist relying on aspecific medium, he can freely create works that stay true to his will andunique language in the vast creative space.

王一亦 | 褶皱中的尘埃
(Apr. 08, 2025)
“在当下，自然地内化再外化”是王一亦的核心坚持之一。然而即使选择“躬身入局”而非隐于市，他很实际地没有改变许多现实环境的动机。在他看来，任一社会片段的改变都绝不是艺术家自身有意驱使。王一亦不限于使用任何已知或未知媒材，将立足点投掷在社会的微观层面，或宏微观视角下被忽视和遮蔽的中观层面，以其独特自然地艺术风格去呈现语言俨然失效的现象与感受。

走到哪，想到哪 | 艺术家王一亦体察下的“朴素自然”
(Apr. 07, 2025)
“在王一亦的镜头下，一把撑开的伞躺在地面，伞骨与布面之间的阴影与沥青路面的裂纹交错成一首无声的现代诗；斑马线旁的一排红色信号灯延伸到远处，线条与红点交错的画面将现实空间无限延伸……这些图像既非对自然的浪漫化凝视，亦非对工业文明的批判式解构，而是一场关于‘工业自然’的视觉辩证法——他掘开城市褶皱中的日常尘埃，显影出被编码为‘无意义’物象背后，那些未被言说的存在本真。”

李沛琪谈王一亦作品｜工业自然：王一亦的辩证法
艺厘米转载 (Apr. 07, 2025)
王一亦的作品常记录生活中的“自然”，即生活的本真状态，尤其是工业化城市中人们常见的“自然环境”，而这大多是“工业自然景观”。如《作为同音字的围/维以及唯》，正是城市中惯常的一隅绿化地；如《夜班》，让人想到夜班结束后的某个红绿灯路口；还有《或许只是被遗忘但概率不大》，一把伞静静地躺在地面，它撑开的弧度、投至地面的光影为每个人的视觉记忆所共享。这些“工业自然景观”被平实地记录下来，没有经历变形、夸张或失真，而是忠实于它们的自然形状、质感和色彩，通过曝光、角度调整或物理构图等手段，使其呈现出具象的意义。
