In His Own Words

Rarely does an artist begin a career with such a defined sense of purpose and meaning. As he began painting late in life, Jing Nuan Wu had built a world of understanding that encompassed what was and still is a unique set of esoteric knowledge.

His advocacy for holistic medicine, and certainty that there is value to ancient healing techniques is still being borne out today, as more and more empirical studies conclude that the body is influenced by internal and external signals that had been dismissed by western medicine.

Over time, this page will be populated with compelling interviews and documents, to allow for a more nuanced view of the artist and his beliefs.

Here we see Wu discussing his work in 1992, with special focus given to ‘The Jade Emperor’s Cosmic Flowers’, part of the Spring 2023 collection.
