Congressional RecordDr. Yuhua Wang, a native of China, and permanent resident of the
United States who is a professor of oriental arts in the College of
Liberal Arts at Auburn University, has received international
recognition for her high achievements in the arts. In August, 2008, a
collection of her sculptures and paintings entitled World's
Highest-Level Color Paintings and Ink-Wash Paintings will be published
and distributed worldwide by International Arts Publishing. The
publishers noted that Dr. Wang "is an expert in the field of creating
colors and has a remarkably unique style of her own. During her eight
years as professor at Auburn University, she has created superlative
artwork of unique colors and has thereby made an outstanding
contribution to that university and to the development of art in the
world."Ambassador Dr. Denis G. Antoine, Dean of the Ambassadors of the
Western Hemisphere, wrote the artist the following words of praise:
"…it is a rare occasion to have encountered artistic work of such
acclaim." He went on to note that the artist's singular style evokes
unique images, of natural exquisiteness, which moves the observer to
experience delight and extra sensory images. He said that the color
forms that she created were pioneering and without comparison and that
her work has the capacity to make one not only think but to perceive
an internal grand scheme of a world of colors which brings a calming
and peaceful impact on the mind. The Ambassador was also quite taken
with the artist's painting of cobblestones, referring to them as
"…similes of the natural world…" that provide "…a historic
contribution to modern art and a record of mastery and triumph of an
artist."Professor Stephen Farthing R.A. and Rootsten Hopkins Research Chair in
Drawing at the University of the Arts in London has commented that
"Yuhua Wang's paintings may draw heavily on the traditions of Eastern
art but today they present themselves as extraordinarily western ideas
and images….Free of perspective Wang's paintings reach across cultures
to celebrate the space that exists intellectually and emotionally
between representation and abstraction, between a fact and an idea."On Wednesday, July 23, 2008, Hon. Corrine Brown invited her colleagues
in the House of Representatives to pay a formal tribute to Dr. Yuhua
Wang for her outstanding work as an artist and sculptor. This tribute
has been archived in the Congressional Record.
