Wang Kangkang


Assistant Craft Artist

Born in 1988, with a history of over a hundred years, the Wang family has inherited the art of teapots. From Wang's pottery to one of the Seven Old Artists of the Republic of China, Mr. Wang Yinchun has a history of over a hundred years. For a hundred years, the unremitting pursuit of purple clay art by four generations of the Wang family has brought a wave of creative enthusiasm to purple clay, and also depicted one artistic peak after another. Whether it is Mr. Wang Yinchun's preaching and teachings, the Zhu Ni series, or Mr. Wang Shigeng's perfect spirit and pragmatic attitude, or every energetic descendant of the Wang family, they have brought indelible spiritual wealth and made tremendous contributions to the purple clay industry. Wang Kangkang graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Shanghai Normal University and is the fourth generation direct descendant of the Wang family's ceramic art in the past century. As one of the "Seven Elderly Artists of Purple Sand", Wang Yinchun, the eldest and great grandson, has gained a deep understanding of the essence of purple sand art. He has been exposed to it since childhood and has been learning the art of making pots from his grandfather Wang Shigeng since 2006. His father Wang Huizhong also provides guidance and guidance, patiently guiding him. After graduating from university, he devoted himself to making pots and studied calligraphy and painting appraisal with Dong Xiao, the nephew of the renowned calligrapher and painter Dong Xinbin. Since dedicating himself to making pots, he has expanded his academic artistic perspective to purple clay works. He has a higher understanding of purple clay than his peers and is more delicate in handling techniques such as shaping proportions and component layout. His works contain a new style in their ancient charm, with concise lines and distinct charm, endowing them with new reading content through the language of the times. His representative works such as "Shi Geng Zhaofeng Pot" and "Ruyi Sifang Tendon Bag" have won design gold awards multiple times.
